I wonder about the impact this will have on tourism in UAE. Its image has been carefully crafted over decades and shots of hotels on fire will probably be a bit of a setback. Consequently, some of the P2P demand for EK/EY may diminish going forward and I imagine some people will also be worried about connecting there.

Any idea how EK handles the disruption for connecting pax who didn't make it to Dubai (e.g. Asia - Europe stuck in Asia)? Rebookings on OAL, or waiting it out in the origin?
