Dubai Flood News | Dubai Rains Cause Floods, Devastation And Disruption | Dubai Weather | N18V

Dubai International Airport, which is one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs, remained in disarray after unprecedented heavy rain led to airliners having to negotiate flooded runways.
While check-ins for Emirates and Flydubai, the airport’s two main operators, had reopened, the airport warned that its Terminal 3 was experiencing high volumes of travelers as airlines tried to handle the backlog from cancellations and delays. Storms swept through Dubai, dumping around 10 inches of rain in less than 24 hours in some areas. It was the heaviest rainfall witnessed in the region for 75 years. The tarmac of Dubai International Airport was left submerged. Videos showed large jets plowing through the rippling water, sending up sprays in their wake. In the airport’s terminals, hundreds of passengers were forced to wait as their flights were canceled or delayed.
