Dubai airport Terminal 1 will reopen on June 24

Dubai airports said that more than 40 international flights will now gradually move the operations to the reopened terminals.

Dubai Airports made the announcement on Sunday that it would reopen Terminal 1 at Dubai International Airport with effect from June 24, Thursday after closing for a 15 month period due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The reopening will see the gradual shifting of more than 40 international airline's operations to the reopened terminal, Dubai airport's main facility for foreign flights, from terminal 2 and 3, the notice said.

Concourse D of Dubai Airport is located at Terminal 1, which has an annual passenger capacity of 18 million passengers. The airport is famous in the travel market as a major international transit hub and is capable of handling up to 100 million passengers a year.

"On June 24, 2021, the Terminal 1 and Concourse D facilities at Dubai International (DXB) will be reopening. To ensure we continue to offer a safe, smooth and easy airport journey for all our guests, we will be moving the operations of some airlines from Terminal 3 over to Terminal 1," Dubai Airports said on its website.

The announcement comes after the Dubai government on Saturday said it was lifting a ban on those who had been in Nigeria or South Africa in the past 14 days, and direct flights from there would resume from Wednesday.

Flights from India would also resume in the coming days and Indians who hold UAE residency visas will be able to enter the country if they have already received two doses of UAE-approved coronavirus vaccines before travelling to United Arab Emirates.
