I agree this is not, for sure, every week, it is just ironic.

But this excuse seems to be a little too common (twice in two weeks) for a "rare event"...

How many times a year? What I have seen is that on many other places, planes are usually able to land and take off even in case of snow or fog. Airports have appropriate equipments.
In Dubai, if they can't face such an event, they could at least treat the passengers another way as they usually do.

14 hours in the Dubai airport for a morning fog....I won't bet my salary on this assertion.
I confess that I am upset about this company since my last experience and my point of view is maybe not objective. But I shouldn't be totally wrong
