3. All passengers travelling from India to Dubai are required to have a negative RT-PCR test report 48 hours before boarding the flight. Only negative PCR test certificates with QR codes will be accepted.
4. All India-bound passengers will have to undergo a rapid PCR test four hours before flying to Dubai.
5. The RT-PCR test will be done even after reaching Dubai.
6. Passengers arriving there from India will have to remain quarantined till the RT-PCR test report comes. Please note that this report comes in 24 hours.

After 15 months, Terminal 1 of Dubai Airport is being reopened from Thursday. Terminals 2 and 3 were closed last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, Dubai’s airport operator expects a large number of passengers to come amid a reduction in coronavirus infections.
