Currently, the passenger terminal is at the final stage of interior decoration. After the opening of the cargo terminal on June 27, 2010, the process of preparing the passenger terminal began.
Al Maktoum International International Airport, part of the US $ 33 billion Dubai mega-project Dubai World Central, will be the largest airport in the world from reaching its full operating capacity. With five runways, Al Maktoum Airport will be able to serve 160 million passengers a year and transport 12 million tons of cargo.
At the moment, the leadership of the new airport has not yet provided information about which carriers will operate flights from the passenger terminal, however, according to Walsh, these will be mainly regional carriers.
