Dubai Airport..record passenger traffic

Dubai Airports delivers smooth experience on busiest weekend

DUBAI, December 24, 2014

Dubai International Airport, a major airline hub in the Middle East, witnessed its busiest weekend when its three terminals welcomed a total of 638,317 passengers from December 18 through December 20.

December 19 was the busiest day for the airport in terms of departures, with traffic reaching 112,111 passengers, while December 20 was the busiest for overall traffic with 216,807 passengers passing through the hub.

The influx of passengers was managed without a glitch following days of planning and preparation by operator Dubai Airports, partners and government authorities, a senior official at Dubai Airports said.

On an average, the airport welcomes 160,000 passengers a day.

“We are very pleased that passenger traffic through our terminals remained smooth and we were able to maintain the quality of our customer service despite the record traffic numbers. It was the result of meticulous planning and preparations and close coordination between Dubai Airports and stakeholders including Emirates and all the other airlines, dnata, Dubai Police, the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner Affairs, and Dubai Customs amongst others. We also received a lot of support from our customers who responded positively to our awareness campaign by arriving early to the airport to beat the rush,” said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports. – TradeArabia News Service
