Dubai Airports projected growth for Dubai International (DXB) in the second half of the year after in the airport welcomed 10.6 million passengers in the first half of 2021.
Over 1 million air passengers are expected to pass through Dubai International Airport over the next few days alone, after the UAE eased travel restrictions for inbound flights and transit passengers from several countries.
“In anticipation of the robust recovery of global air travel, we started the second half on a high note by re-opening Terminal 1 and Concourse D – the home terminal for our 60 international carriers, after 15 months of hibernation to accommodate the seasonal rush of travellers over the summer holidays,” Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports.
He continues: “We have already witnessed some of our busiest weekends of the year in July, and with major international events such as the Dubai Expo 2020 and Dubai Airshow 2021 lined up for the months ahead, the outlook for 2021 in terms of passenger numbers looks very promising.”
