Dubai Airport remains open on April 16; 124 delays spark visa-overstay warning for travellers

DXB is fully operational on 16 April, but the previous day’s 124 delays and 22 cancellations are still causing knock-ons. Travellers must reconfirm flights, watch visa expiry dates and carry airline delay certificates to avoid AED 50-per-day overstay fines. UAE carriers are running reduced schedules while most European airlines remain suspended until at least 31 May.
