One of the world’s busiest airports is set to close permanently in the coming years following more than six decades as a major global aviation hub.
Dubai International Airport (DXB) will shut its doors for good in 2035, with all operations transferring to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) in Dubai South, stated AOL news.
The staged transition is expected to commence around 2032 and is expected to span several years. DWC is presently undergoing an enormous £28 billion redevelopment, positioning it to become the world’s largest aviation facility.
The relocation will see all flight operations and services currently handled at DXB shift to DWC, including those operated by Dubai-based carriers Emirates and flydubai, AOL news noted. You
Upon completion, the airport at Dubai World Central is projected to accommodate an annual passenger capacity of up to 260 million travellers, securing its position as the largest globally.
