JAKARTA - Social media users praised the initiative of Dubai International Airport (DXB), Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) after passengers leaving the airport were given souvenir packages, as the war in the Middle East continues to impact travel across the region.
The package contains two small Dubai-themed fridge magnets and a greeting card.
"When you leave, please accept this small token of appreciation on behalf of Dubai," the card read, quoted from The National (25/3).
"We greatly appreciate the way you have handled the unique situation over the past few days," he continued.
"Dubai always prioritizes the safety and well-being of all citizens, residents, and visitors, and we hope you see this for yourself. We wish you a safe journey and hope to welcome you back," he concluded.
It is known that commercial aircraft heading to and out of the UAE and across the Gulf region have faced significant disruptions since the latest conflict between Iran and the United States and Israel on February 28.
