Dubai Airports, which owns and manages Dubai International and Dubai World Central, is preparing for resuming operations once the coronavirus lockdowns are lifted.
The airport’s operator said on Wednesday that it is working closely with its aviation and commercial partners for a “gradual remobilisation” once travel restrictions are no longer in place. However, Dubai Airports did not provide further details on how and when operations will restart.
It is also offering assistance to affected businesses, including tenants and concessionaires, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic.
The aviation industry is badly hit by the current crisis with various airlines losing billions in revenues due to travel restrictions and lockdowns.
Dozens of carriers around the world have grounded their fleets, while many others have ceased nearly all their airline services.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said in its updated analysis that the pandemic will see airline passenger revenues drop by $314 billion this year, dropping by 55 percent compared to 2019.
