Are airports closed on Christmas?

Most airports are open 24/7, 365 (or 366) days a year, meaning that they operate even during holidays, including Christmas. However, operational hours and services may vary depending on the size of the airport. For example, runways may be open, but terminals could be closed during specific hours. Smaller or domestic airports may have reduced hours or fewer airline services on holidays. Regulations may also restrict operations, leading to temporary closures until certain conditions are met, such as natural disasters, technical issues, weather conditions, health emergencies, or security threats.

Do you have any tips if I'm planning to travel around Christmas time?

As Christmas falls within the high peak travel season, it is wise to:

• Anticipate an increased number of travellers at airports resulting in longer queues at departure check-in, immigration, boarding, and arrivals, potentially causing delays.
• Ensure that you allocate enough time for your travel plans.
• Check the most updated information regarding your flight(s): Flight schedules may vary slightly during the holidays, so this is always good practice to keep this in mind– not just during holidays.
• Be mindful of commuting and the traffic to/from the airports: This may potentially cause delays and affect your travel, especially during the holidays when more people will also be commuting in their cars.
