Dubai airport will be world’s number two this year
30 August 2011Forthcoming winter airline schedules will catapult Dubai International Airport into the place of the world’s second busiest international airport, new analysis has shown.
The airport, which is the hub of Dubai-based Emirates, is currently the world’s fourth busiest, but the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) predicted this week that it will be second only to London Heathrow in terms of passenger traffic by November 2011.
That jump means overtaking Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
