In Brief: Emirates Won’t Leave Passengers on the Tarmac for More Than 2 Hours

Emirates is rolling out a new policy that specifies passengers cannot be left onboard a plane on the tarmac for more than two hours after a flight delay. The announcement comes after a recent fog heavily impacted takeoff times at airports in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, leaving one Etihad Airways flight to San Francisco grounded for 12 hours.
