Emirates Airline said it was preparing for a busy week of departures as travellers head to their summer holiday destinations, with more than 30,000 passengers expected to pass through daily until Monday.
The airline urged travellers to account for traffic and delays when heading to the airport.
During peak travel times, Emirates said travellers should arrive at the airport three hours before departure, and reach the correct boarding gate one hour prior to takeoff.
The surge in outbound travel came as UAE carriers resumed normal operations after they suspended some flights over regional tensions.
Flydubai on Tuesday said it was reinstating flights across its network and preparing to resume a full schedule next Tuesday.
Emirates has temporarily suspended all flights to Iran (Tehran) and Iraq (Baghdad and Basra) until and including June 30.
Etihad Airways has suspended flights to Israel until July 15.
Air Arabia had suspended operations to Jordan until June 25 and Iran, Iraq, Russia, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan until June 30.
