Arrivals at Dubai International Airport

Dubai Airport arrivals: how to read the board

The arrivals board above lists the flights landing at Dubai International today, with the scheduled time, the estimated or actual landing time and the status of each flight. It updates continuously. Dubai is the busiest international airport in the world and the home of Emirates; flights from Britain, Europe and India arrive around the clock, with the biggest waves in the early morning and late evening.

Check the terminal before you head out: Emirates uses Terminal 3 only, flydubai and most other airlines Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, and the terminals are far apart. There are no pick-up areas at the curb; the parking garage at each terminal is the designated place to collect someone. Allow a good half hour to an hour between landing and the exit, as every passenger goes through passport control. The Red Line of the Dubai Metro stops at Terminals 1 and 3, Dubai Taxi Company cabs wait around the clock at every terminal, and Uber, Careem and Bolt operate too; buses need a Nol card.
