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.
