Emirates expects more than 100,000 passengers to pass through terminal 3 this weekend as the school holidays begin and travellers enjoy the Eid holiday break.

The airline said that it expects higher than usual passenger traffic on its flights, starting from Wednesday.

Over 106,000 travellers will be passing through the terminal. The busiest day is expected to be on Friday - a day after schools finish - with over 37,000 Emirates departing terminal 3.

The airline advised passengers to arrive at least three hours before departure. With ongoing heavy road works and construction around the main airport highways, customers are encouraged to plan extra time to avoid potential delays.
