Dubai to Build World’s Largest Capacity Airport

Dubai is taking its futuristic vision to new heights with plans to build the world’s largest capacity airport at Al Maktoum International. This ambitious project will not only transform air travel but also create a complete city around the airport.

Here are the key highlights:

• Massive Scale: The new terminal will dwarf Dubai’s current main airport, boasting a capacity for a staggering 260 million passengers annually – five times more than the existing one.
• Gradual Shift: Over the next decade, Dubai International Airport operations will gradually move to Al Maktoum, making it the new mega-hub.
• Unprecedented Capacity: The airport will feature five parallel runways and a whopping 400 aircraft gates, allowing for smooth and efficient operations.
• Technological Marvel: Cutting-edge aviation technologies will be integrated, attracting leading logistics and air transport companies.
• A City Takes Flight: An entire city with housing for a million people will be built around the airport, creating a thriving urban center.
• Emirates’ New Home: The new airport will become the central hub for Emirates, Flydubai, and all their airline partners connecting Dubai to the world.
• Sustainable Future: This project is envisioned as a sustainable and progressive development for future generations.
• Solidifying Dubai’s Position: As Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths stated, this move reinforces Dubai’s place as a leading global aviation hub.

This groundbreaking project signifies Dubai’s commitment to innovation and its vision for the future of air travel. By combining a mega-airport with a complete city, Dubai aims to redefine the way we travel and connect.
