The Dubai International airport recently had an unannounced inspection of the facilities over there by the Dubai ruler two days back. The ruler came into the airport without any information to prior notice.

The passengers and employees working inside the airport were taken in for a pleasant surprise when an unannounced inspection was carried out by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

According to an official statement from Dubai Media Office, “The royal toured the facility, starting at the departures hall at Concourse 3 where he stopped at an Emirates airlines check-in counter, baggage-screening facilities and passport control.”

The Dubai Ruler was also accompanied by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who had filmed and posted to his twitter handle some of the spot inspection.

H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, after the inspection, directed the officials working at DXB to “raise the bar” in simplifying the procedures as well as to pay more attention to welcoming travellers as well.
