Airports nationwide experienced minor flight delays and the Jebel Ali Port was temporarily closed due to Sunday's sandstorm. "Selected flights departing Dubai were delayed for a brief time," an Emirates spokesperson told Gulf News, but there were "no cancellations or diversions." Etihad Airways officials couldn't confirm delays at Abu Dhabi International Airport by press time, but did say that disruptions were expected later in the day. Meanwhile, tanker operations at Jebel Ali port were suspended around 2pm due to poor weather conditions, but resumed later as visibility improved over the course of the day, according to a DP World (the port operator) spokesperson.
