The new terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport is set to be five times larger than the current Dubai International Airport, accommodating up to 260 million passengers annually. Over the next decade, all operations at Dubai International will gradually shift to the new airport, which will feature five parallel runways and 400 terminal or aircraft gates. Utilizing cutting-edge aviation technologies, it will host leading global companies in the logistics and air transport sectors. The project includes building an entire city around the airport in Dubai South, providing housing for a million people. Once completed, it will be the new home for Emirates, Flydubai, and their airline partners. According to Emirates chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum, this ambitious project aims to secure a sustainable and progressive future for generations to come.
