Middle East Air Traffic Sees De-congestion

Airports are not far behind either, with new projects such as Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport, which is already operating flights, and Abu Dhabi’s announced construction of a $7bn international airport to help meet traffic demands in the Emirate.

A whole new world

Dubai marked its transition into a two-airport city last month, with the much-awaited launch of cargo operations at Al Maktoum International. A diverse range of cargo carriers have registered to operate in the airport – which is part of the multi-billion dollar Dubai World Central development – including Aban Air, ACI, Aerospace Consortium, Aviation Service Management, Coyne Airways, EuroAsian Services, Rus Aviation, Sonic Jet, SunGlobal, Skyline and United Aviation Services.

Overcapacity may impact UAE aviation sector yields

Dubai’s $33 billion new Dubai World Central airport and the integrated free zone logistics city is by far the biggest single project in the world, the
 study said. Al Maktoum airport in Jebel Ali will comprise a multi-transport mode logistics hub and an international airport with five runways and a capacity for 120 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo per annum, the study 
pointed out.

Best airport stop-overs enroute to Europe

LENGTHY airport stopovers are often an unavoidable part of flying to Europe from Australia. Dubai International Airport Terminal Hotel is located inside the airport, on the third level of the Sheikh Rashid Terminal. Because you don’t leave the airport you won’t be able to retrieve checked-in luggage, but all services including room and laundry services and the Health and Fitness Centre are available 24 hours a day.

Dubai International Airport first half passenger traffic rises 16% to 22.5 million

Dubai Airports owns and manages the operation and development of both of Dubai’s airports – Dubai International as well as the upcoming Dubai World Central — Al Maktoum International. According to ACI’s latest figures, Dubai International is the 4th busiest airport in the world in terms of international passenger traffic and 6th busiest for International cargo, offering connections to over 220 destinations across six continents on more than 130 airlines.

Dubai World Central hosts stakeholder meeting

Following the successful opening of Al Maktoum International for cargo operations, Dubai World Central organised a unique project stakeholder meeting aimed at acknowledging the contributions of various government and non-government stakeholders, while identifying emerging opportunities for further synergy and collaboration.
