Dubai Airport process 43 million passengers
Passenger traffic at Dubai International (DXB)
Dubai - Egypt Today
Passenger traffic at Dubai International (DXB) surpassed 43 million in the first half of 2017, according to the traffic report issued today by operator Dubai Airports.
During the first six months, the top country destinations in terms of total passenger volumes were India, with 5,943,359 passengers, followed by Saudi Arabia, the UK with 3,064,172 passengers, Pakistan, and 1,561,559 flyers from the US.
In total, DXB handled a total of 43,054,268 passengers during the first half, up 6.3 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2016 when the airport welcomed 40,507,251 passengers. Monthly traffic in June reached 6,084,674 compared to 5,857,503 during the same month last year, up 3.9 percent. The relatively modest growth was the outcome of the Holy Month of Ramadan falling in June, a traditionally slow month.
"We are pleased with the growth in the first half, and with the rush of travellers expected to hit peak at the end of school holidays later next month, we are looking forward to another quarter of positive growth. We will continue to focus on improving service quality at DXB by bringing in new experiences and services to engage and delight our customers," said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports.
