Introducing the Dubai future home – Al Maktoum International Airport.
At five times the size of Dubai International, Al Maktoum International Airport will be able to accommodate 260 million passengers per year, with five parallel runways and 400 aircraft gates.
Work has started on the $35bn airport terminal that is set to have the world’s largest capacity upon completion. All operations at Dubai International Airport will be transferred to the newer Al Maktoum International Airport over the coming years, Dubai’s Prime Minister and Vice President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said on Sunday.
“As we build an entire city around the airport in Dubai South, demand for housing for a million people will follow. It will host the world’s leading companies in the logistics and air transport sectors,” Sheikh Mohammed said on X.
“We are building a new project for future generations, ensuring continuous and stable development for our children and their children in turn. Dubai will be the world’s airport, its port, its urban hub, and its new global centre.”
Once completed, Al Maktoum International Airport, which opened in 2010, will be the new home of flagship carrier Emirates and feature five parallel runways and 400 aircraft gates
