Emirates reportedly denied boarding to a Russian passenger traveling from Mexico City (MEX) to Dubai (DXB) because of a visa issue. Her itinerary included a stop in Barcelona (BCN), where Russian passport holders may need an airport transit visa, even if they remain inside the airport. Spain introduced the transit visa requirement for Russian ordinary passport holders on July 12, 2025, subject to certain exemptions. The incident highlights how an intermediate stop can disrupt international travel, even when passengers are only transiting to their final destination.
