With
airports developing in every part of the world, it doesn’t seem surprising that
Dubai is all set to revamp one of its renowned airports, Al-Maktoum International. However this one has a unique
selling point and that is its massive size and structure that can already
handle 7 million passengers per year. This
year the airport’s growth is limited to carry 65.4 million passengers, an
amount that’s just a few steps behind the mightiest of all London Heathrow.
Will Dubai break all existing records and reach the pinnacle?
As
per reports, this airport that is set to be unveiled on October 27 is the
largest airport in the world. Aviation in Dubai has always witnessed a steady
growth, given the large number of visitors it has every year. At present, the
airport known as Al-Maktoum International can
accommodate 5 to 7 million passengers every year. After all its phases are
completed, the airport is expected to carry 160 million passengers every year
and have five runways. The project is cited to be completed in the year 2030
that is 17 years from now.
