World’s biggest airport is set to become busier this winter.
There are now 4,400 flights (one-way) operating out of DXB every week, marking a 20 percent surge from the previous winter season.
“The new services and increased frequencies to our winter schedule reaffirms our commitment to growing DXB as a major hub and further positioning the airport as a dynamic and competitive player in the global aviation landscape,” said Rob Whitehouse, vice-president for research at Dubai Airports.
DXB is the busiest hub for both passengers and in terms of connectivity in the world, according to Airports Council International.
Airlines that have joined the fleet include Aegean Airlines, Air Canada, Batik Air, Eurowings, Transavia, Virgin Atlantic and TUS Airways.
