If you are planning on travelling to or through any of the Dubai Airports, you might want to learn a new way of packing your baggage as Dubai Airport Authorities are putting in place strict baggage rules.
The new rules which will come into effect on March 8, 2017 prohibit irregular shaped bags, oversized bags, round bags and all bags that do not have a flat surface.
According to the Vice President of Terminal Operations at Dubai International, Ali Angizeh, "Dubai International provides some of the most sophisticated baggage systems in the world,"
"However, even the most technologically advanced systems can be disrupted by irregular shaped or oversized bags. Bags that are round or do not have a flat surface of any kind are by far the largest source of baggage jams.
"These jams can shut down sections of our system, delay baggage delivery to the aircraft and inconvenience our customers," he said.
According to the rules, round bags that do not have a flat surface will not be checked-in.
Dubai Airports has also advised all airlines operating into the airport of the new regulations that will take place next month.
"Passengers, who show up at the airport with non-compliant baggage, will also be given the option to have it repacked in boxes for a fee."
Stretching 140 kilometres and covering a surface area of 75 football fields, DXB's baggage handling system is among the largest in the world. It has 15,000 trays and is powered by 21,000 motors.
Dubai International Airport handled approximately 9.3 million bags in January this year. A bag spends an average of 29 minutes in the baggage system at DXB.

Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
