Travelling to Dubai? read these new baggage rules

 

DUBAI (Web Desk) - Dubai Airports will soon introduce new baggage rules in order to enhance service quality, lessen the danger of mishandlings, enhance the performance of its check-in and baggage operation.

New rules for passengers are as follow:

1. No round bags

2. No bags without flat surface

3. No irregular shaped bags

4. No oversized bags

5. Bags that do not meet the criterion will have to be repacked in boxes for a fee

Vice President of Terminal Operations at Dubai International Ali Angizeh said Dubai Airports deploys latest and sophisticated baggage system in the world. He said oversize bags have capacity to disrupt or deceive even the latest technology available.

Angizeh stated that round bags or those which are not flat often cause baggage jams and these jams can possibly shut down systems apart from several other technical issues.

After implementation of new law on 8th March 2017, passengers would not be able to carry round bags anymore. Dubai Airports has updated its website, mobile app and signage across in this regard whereas all airlines have been made aware of changes in the baggage rules.
