Operational Update

Changes to Emirates Terminal 3 check-in times during Dubai Airshow

Important changes to check-in procedures for a number of flights departing Dubai Terminal 3 between Saturday 14th November and Thursday 19th November.

During the Dubai Air Show, there will be some rescheduling of departure times for flights from Dubai to allow for daily air displays.

All Emirates flights departing between 13:00hrs (1pm) and 17:00hrs (5pm) daily will be subject to a mandatory early check-in. Passengers, in all classes, are required to check-in no later than 90 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Check-in counters will not accept passengers after this time.

Online check-in will not be available for affected flights.

In addition, boarding gates will close 50 minutes prior to the revised scheduled time of departure to ensure flights leave on time. Latecomers to the boarding gate will be denied boarding.

The Emirates First and Business Class chauffeur drive service will also reflect these changes to ensure passengers reach the airport within the specified timeframe.

The following flights are cancelled each day for the duration of the Airshow 14th to 19th November.:

  • EK 606 at 10:00 to Karachi (KHI)
  • EK 857 at 15:35 to Kuwait (KWI)
