Dubai Airport's transfer Desk E closed Thursday

Dubai Airports, operators of Dubai’s two airports, said, transfer desk E at Dubai International Concourse 1 is closed Thursday as the result of damage caused by a faulty light fitting which caught fire late Wednesday night. The situation was quickly contained with no injuries or health issues reported. One flight was delayed as result of the desk closure. “Additional staff have been deployed and connecting passengers are being processed at transfer desk ‘F’ while Dubai Airports engineering staff work to restore the area to normal operation as soon as possible. No operational disruptions are expected,” a statement said.
