Dubai's new Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) embodies the emirate's visionary approach to securing global leadership in travel. Designed to handle an impressive 260 million passengers annually, the airport is poised to be a major catalyst for Dubai's economic expansion. With passenger traffic expected to grow by over 4 percent in the coming years, Al Maktoum International is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the region's economic landscape.

As a cornerstone of Dubai and the UAE's economic strategy, Al Maktoum International is projected to attract substantial investments, create employment opportunities, and stimulate various sectors of the economy. According to Kamil Al Awadhi of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the UAE's leadership in aviation will be further solidified by this ambitious project, which is crucial in accommodating the anticipated growth in visitor numbers. The establishment of Al Maktoum Airport will not only boost Dubai's economy but also support Emirates Airlines' future expansions, as highlighted by Adel Ahmad Al Redha of Emirates Airlines.
