Dubai Airports is ramping up operations at both Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) following the full restoration of UAE airspace. CEO Paul Griffiths noted that the past two months required constant adaptation due to significant constraints on regional airspace. He stated that the priority has been to ensure safe and consistent global travel despite operational disruptions. With the airspace now fully restored, operations are being scaled up in accordance with available regional routing capacity. Griffiths highlighted that DXB alone facilitates about 22.4 million annual passenger journeys linked to international transfer traffic, representing roughly one-third of such movements in the region. Since late February, both airports have collectively supported more than 6 million passengers and over 32,000 aircraft movements. Griffiths credited the resilience of operations to close coordination across the βoneDXBβ ecosystem, which includes various stakeholders. He emphasized that Dubai's status as a global aviation hub is closely tied to the strength of the international transfer market, which has shown resilience despite recent disruptions. As travel demand continues to recover, the focus remains on scaling operations while ensuring safety and reliability.
