Aviation News International – All operations at Dubai International (DXB) will be transferred to Al Maktoum International (AMI) over the next few years. A new Dh128-billion passenger terminal<\/a>\u00a0at the AMI announced Sunday will scale up passenger capacity to 260 million annually and \u201cfully absorb\u201d DXB\u2019s operations in 10 years.<\/p>\n

The announcement marks phase two of the airport\u2019s expansion. DXB will continue to serve as the primary hub \u201cmeeting the needs of 100 million plus guests over the next few years as phase two of DWC takes shape\u201d, the operator of both airports said in a statement.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dubai-based Emirates Airline called the airport its “future home” as it shared photos of the AMI.<\/p>\n

Set to be five times the size of DXB, the airport will span 70 square-km once fully operational. It will have five parallel runways and five passenger terminals housing more than 400 aircraft gates.<\/p>\n

In November last year, a top official had\u00a0revealed plans to replace DXB<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 which is the world\u2019s busiest airport \u2014 with a bigger one. Initial forecasts suggest that DXB\u2019s traffic will surpass 88.8 million passengers in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cAl Maktoum International Airport will enjoy the world’s largest capacity, reaching up to 260 million passengers,\u201d said Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai. \u201cNew aviation technologies will be employed for the first time in the aviation sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the emirate building an \u201centire city\u201d around the airport in Dubai South, demand for housing for a million people will follow, said the Dubai Ruler. \u201cIt will host the world’s leading companies in the logistics and air transport sectors \u2026 Dubai will be the world’s airport, its port, its urban hub, and its new global centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The first phase of the project is expected to be ready within 10 years with a capacity to accommodate 150 million passengers annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cAl Maktoum International will comprise five parallel runways with a quadruple independent operation, west and east processing terminals, four satellite concourses with over 400 aircraft contact stands, uninterrupted automated people mover system for passengers, and an integrated landside transport hub for roads, Metro, and city air transport,\u201d said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed, Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, and Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline and Group.<\/p>\n

It will \u201cprepare the ground\u201d for the next 40 years of anticipated growth in Dubai\u2019s aviation sector.<\/p>\n

Economic benefits<\/h2>\n

Khalifa Al Zaffin, executive chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation, said the airport will generate estimated workforce and residential requirement for over a million people living and working in Dubai South \u201cwhich has been under development and operation since 2007\u201d.<\/p>\n

AMI first opened in 2010 for cargo operations followed by passenger flights in 2013. It will contribute to mitigate environmental emissions.<\/p>\n
