Al Maktoum International Airport will be five times the size of Dubai International Airport and will have the world’s largest capacity of up to 260 million passengers
All operations of DXB will be transferred to DWC within 10 years and that includes Emirates and flydubai
“The airport will accommodate 400 aircraft gates and feature five parallel runways. New aviation technologies will be employed for the first time in the aviation sector,” His Highness said.
But that’s not all because the city is planning on building Dubai South to accommodate the rise in population.
“As we build an entire city around the airport in Dubai South, demand for housing for a million people will follow.
