The combined passenger handling capacity of Dubai's two airports - Dubai International and Jebel Ali - is projected to exceed 190 million passengers per year by 2010, an official said.

 

This figure include 70 million passengers passing through Dubai International Airport and 120 million through Jebel Ali Airport, Anita Mehra Homayoun, director of marketing and corporate communications in the Department of Civil Aviation, told the Dubai-based Gulf News yesterday.

 

Capacity expansion on this scale will elevate Dubai's position in the global aviation league tables and make it one of the most important hubs in the world. With the capacity to handle 190 million passengers per year, Dubai will also have the largest aviation infrastructure in the Middle East and North Africa.

 

"Development of the Jebel Ali Airport is still in the planning stage. We had to bring its development forward due to the strong growth experienced by Dubai and Emirates airline," Homayoun said.

 

When asked if one of the airports would be dedicated to Emirates, she said: "We are not yet sure what plan the government has in store for the existing Dubai International Airport, which is undergoing a massive $4.1 billion [Dh15 billion] expansion.

 

"Will it be dedicated to Emirates, or be totally demolished? We do not know yet. Things will become clear in the coming months." Dubai International Airport handled 21.7 million passengers last year, up by 20.2 per cent from the previous year's 18.06 million. About 25 million passengers are expected to pass through Dubai International Airport this year.

 

According to the latest industry reports, Atlanta topped the list of global airports in 2004, handling 83.57 million passengers, followed by Chicago (75.37 million) and Heathrow (67.34 million).

 

According to projections, Dubai International Airport will serve between 60 and 70 million passengers by 2010, reaching its saturation point.

 

 

 

Was in der Schweiz nicht funktionieren soll, scheint in Dubai wunderbar zu funktionieren. Schon bemerkenswert was dort auf die Beine gestellt wird. Liegt sicher auch daran das dort alle am gleichen Strang ziehen ;-)
