Dubai airport sunflower initiative
The ambassadors of the guest experience of Dubai airports, identifiable by sunflower pins, are parked at key points through both airports to provide specialized assistance.
For the month of acceptance of autism, the smart doors in DXB light in blue, while the tour symbols, an international marker for hidden disabilities, are shown in the terminals to increase consciousness.
Airports offer several services for autistic travelers, including the DXB Travel Planner, an online visual guide to help guests prepare for their trip, and the sunflower cord, identify those with Hides Ansabilities-Furmies at the airport.
