About

Dubai International Airport is one of largest airports in the Middle East, among the largest airports in the world and a key cargo hub in the region. The airport has seen phenomenal growth in the past decade, which has come with the expansion of home carrier, Emirates. Dubai International is located in a built-up urban area, and to cater for expected growth the facility will be complemented by the larger, but more distant, Al Maktoum International Airport. Although the vast majority of growth has come from Emirates, the airport has benefited from increasing service from carriers around the world as Dubai has gained prominence as a tourist destination and business centre.
