While the eco-loonies try to shut down UK air travel, Dubai is going to build the world’s biggest airport!
A huge new project to build the world’s biggest airport is underway in a city British tourists love, costing a whopping £2.1billion. As Dubai International Airport (DXB) approaches its maximum capacity, the UAE is in the process of formulating plans for its successor, set to be constructed on the outskirts of the city and anticipated to commence operations in the 2030s.
he planned new airport for Dubai essentially already exists in the form of Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), situated 23 miles southwest of the city, predominantly catering to freight planes.
Currently, a few passenger airlines, predominantly of Russian origin, are utilizing the facility, and Aeroflot is scheduled to inaugurate services in December.
At present, Al Maktoum Airport accommodates only 1.6 million passengers annually.
However, there are ambitious plans to significantly expand the hub, with the aim of accommodating up to 250 million passengers by 2050.
