Despite the enforced 45-day closure of one of its two runways for refurbishment work, Dubai International Airport (DXB) welcomed 41.3 million passengers in the first half of 2019 to maintain its status as the world’s busiest international airport by traffic volumes.
In his mid-year report, Dubai Airports CEO, Paul Griffiths, described the first half of 2019 as “fast paced and action packed”, noting that it began with the launch of the dynamic new DXB brand and included installing the Middle East’s largest solar electricity system on the roof of Terminal 2.
