Sheikh Ahmed says Dubai has started to award contracts for Al Maktoum International
Dubai has started awarding contracts for Al Maktoum International, which will be the world's largest airport upon completion.
"We did assign contracts and work has really started since His Highness gave the go-ahead over a year ago," said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates airline and Group.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, approved the airport with a final capacity of 260 million.
All operations at Dubai International (DXB) will be transferred to the Dh128-billion Al Maktoum International (DWC) which will "fully absorb" DXB's operations in 10 years. "DXB will continue to serve as the primary hub to meet the needs of 100 million plus guests," the operator of both airports said in a previous press release.
