Nasser is correct. It is not covered under UAE Labour law. However if it is specified in the individual labour contract, then the case will be different. i.e. company has to abide by. Regards Majeed

As per UAE law, an annual air ticket is not mandatory. The air ticket policy is very flexible in nature and totally depends on the HR policy of the company. It is generally a non-cash benefit and should not be encashed.
An annual air ticket is attached to annual leave, and the person has to take leave. However, in the case of business reasons, one can be stopped from taking leave, and in such cases, the ticket encashment policy should apply. The company can be flexible and formulate the policy for encashment in the following ways:
- Reimbursement basis (on the actual cost of the ticket by producing original bills); this needs to be checked with the provision made for the ticket and should not exceed the accounting provision.
- Monthly value of the ticket to be attached to the salary payout.
- Yearly lump sum payout.
