The storm on April 16 left a dent in cargo operations in the UAE, a release stated. With multiple inbound and outbound flights cancelled, passengers and shipments remained stranded and delayed. “We confirm that port operations are continuing normally at Jebel Ali despite the recent adverse weather conditions and all terminals and gates remain open. While some minor delays are possible due to road congestion, we are working diligently to minimise disruptions and expect a return to normal operations within 24 hours,” according to a DP World statement. “We are collaborating closely with our partners and authorities to mitigate any impact of the inclement weather and subsequent flight disruptions and adverse road conditions on our cargo operations in Dubai,” a dnata spokesperson said.
