DUBAI — Passengers traveling from or arriving at Dubai International Airport will be able to purchase face masks, gloves and sanitizers at the airport as the authorities have installed two vending machines that dispense personal protective equipment (PPE) as part of the government’s efforts to combat coronavirus.

In a statement carried by Government of Dubai Media Office, Dubai Airports said that the PPE vending machines are located at DXB’s Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Each dispenses PPE kits containing a mask and a pair of gloves, as well as two varieties of sanitizers.

“Dubai Airports eases the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for travelers, with the installation of vending machines that sell PPE at Dubai’s airports,” a tweet from the media office said.

More products are expected to be added in the coming days, including European-manufactured and certified reusable face masks.

In addition to cargo and repatriation flights, which continued throughout the Covid-19 related suspension of operations since March 24, DXB is handling a number of scheduled passenger flights from Terminal 3 to select destinations from May 2, the statement added.
