Dubai airport gears up to handle World Cup supporters

DUBAI, Aug 17 — Dubai International Airport, a major aviation hub, is gearing up to help ease transit travel for World Cup supporters ahead of the tournament starting in November, its director said today.

Gulf states have agreed to ease administrative procedures for fans in transit, in particular through the United Arab Emirates. He said online check-in will mean normal procedures can be bypassed “and then you can get in and out very quickly”.Without specifying figures, Griffiths said there would be “quite a number of flights every day during the World Cup, ferrying fans to and from Doha”, the Qatari capital, following requests by several airlines.

Flights between the UAE and Qatar resumed in January last year after a diplomatic reconciliation ended a more than three-year boycott.
