Malaysia Airlines will operate temporarily at Dubai World Central (DWC) – Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) from 1 May to 21 July 2014.  The temporary shift is due to closure of one of the runways at Dubai International Airport  (DXB) for major resurfacing work.

 Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International Airport is located in Jebel Ali, some 37 km south west of Dubai city centre.

Malaysia Airlines, a member of oneworld, flies daily from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai on MH162 which departs at 3:20pm. The return flight from Dubai, MH163, departs for Kuala Lumpur at 7:40pm.

However, from 1 May till 21 July 2014, during this temporary operation period, the flight will operate as MH154, departing Kuala Lumpur at 3:15pm. The return MH155 will depart Dubai at 7:35pm.

 Malaysia Airlines will resume operations at Dubai International Airport after completion of the runway project.
