One of the world’s busiest airports has been thrown into chaos as the United Arab Emirates recovers from a freak storm that dumped a year and half’s rain in just a few hours.
Some passengers haven’t left this airport in days with food reportedly on the low, as the major hub struggles to overcome a freak storm .
That airport’s operator declared it was facing “very challenging conditions”, with startling images of its runways underwater. Passengers queue at a flight connection desk at the Dubai International Airport in Dubai on April 17. Picture: AFPMs Ball said that natural disasters, such as flash flooding, could fall under this category.
“Natural disasters point to the unpredictable nature of travel. If you are unable to proceed with your trip plans due to a major weather event, travel insurance would provide you with cancellation benefits and cover for lost deposits,” she said.
