Ethiopian Airlines is effecting a major change on the ground time of its flights departing from Dubai International Airport to 1:10 hr instead of 1:30 hr. The adjustment became necessary due to the Dubai Airport Runway Maintenance and Closure which will last from 15 April, 2019 to 31 May, 2019. To avoid inconvenience, all passengers booked or to be booked on Dubai - Addis Ababa sector during the closure period are advised that check-in will be closed 1h: 30m before departure. Ethiopian Airlines operates daily flight between Dubai International Airport and Addis Ababa using an Airbus A350-900.
