About Dubai
Dubai International Airport is the primary international airport serving Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the world's busiest airport by international passenger traffic. It is the home hub of Emirates, the largest airline in the Middle East. The airport consists of three terminals, with Terminal 3 being exclusive to Emirates and Flydubai operations.
Terminal 3 is the second largest building in the world by floor space. It handles the massive fleet of Airbus A380s that Emirates operates, with dedicated concourses designed specifically for double-decker boarding. The airport operates 24/7 and is a key stopover point for Kangaroo Route traffic between Europe/Asia and Australasia.
Despite having only two runways, the airport achieves incredible efficiency. It is also a major cargo hub. The luxurious duty-free shopping (Dubai Duty Free) is a massive revenue generator, turning the airport into a shopping mall that happens to have planes. It is a symbol of Dubai's rapid rise as a global city.
