Dubai Airports will join millions of people around the world to observe the Earth Hour on Saturday evening by switching off all non-essential lights across the terminals and concourses at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DXB) for an hour.

The hour-long switch off is limited to non-essential areas at the airports and will not affect the safety and comfort of customers and the normal efficiency of operations. While the campaign will have direct outcome in terms of energy savings, it is also intended to help create awareness about the importance and benefits of energy conservation among the thousands of employees of Dubai Airports and its service partners that work at the facility, and the hundreds of thousands of passengers that use the terminals daily.
