Emirates has just completed the first year of operation at Terminal 3 at Dubai International, exclusive to Emirates’ customers. More than 15 million passengers passed through this facility in the 12 months since its opening on 14 October 2008. In time, this will be followed by Concourse 3, providing no fewer than 18 A380 gates. These massive infrastructural projects will boost the airport’s overall passenger capacity to 75 million. Dubai International is sufficient for our immediate needs and any move of EK operations to Al Maktoum International, and the timing of such a shift, is a decision for the government of Dubai, which is also the owner of the airline.
