The international attention and interest towards Dubai is growing as Dubai continues to grow economically. A substantial growth in businesses growing up in Dubai, foreign investments, and the migration of high-net-worth individuals lead to the growth of Dubai across the spectrum.
Given its trajectory of development, the government has taken initiatives that will make Dubai mark its presence on the world map. One of the latest projects presented is the plans to extend the Al Maktoum International Airport in a huge proportion, making it the world’s largest airport.
Initially opened in 1960, it grew bigger in several stages, becoming an important airport in the UAE. This massive project is estimated at $35 billion and is scheduled to be operational in 2034. The Dubai government is set to make this airport the prime hub for international passenger transits, cargo, and airline accommodation. The current Dubai International Airport is the busiest airport in the world in terms of international aircraft traffic.
The new extension of the Al Maktoum International Airport opens up in huge proportions to accommodate a staggering 260 million passengers each year. Operating four terminals with 400 gates, this 5-parallel runway extension spreads across 27 square miles. The government looks forward to developing a centre for financial, business, and transit with the Al Maktoum International Airport and a port. This development is going to place this economic hub, the ‘Dubai World Central’, as the world’s biggest, marking Dubai on the world map.
How Will The Dubai World Central Thrive As One Of The Biggest In The World?
The project of the ‘Dubai World Central’ is set to become an ‘Airport-City’. With the world’s largest airport, a neighbouring port, finance centres, an urban hub, metro lines, and a residential community. The development of the real estate industry in Dubai makes its stand in the international property market as one of the most dynamic and fast-moving markets in the industry.
Since the residential property market in the UAE is reaching new heights every year, the government raises the bar, morphing the real estate with the Al Maktoum International Airport project.
The complex of residential buildings is predicted to house from a few hundred thousand to a million residents, while the community is connected with planned roads, star-class facilities, hotels, dining, and retail options. The area will be a hub for many corporate offices. With plans for the advancing world, the airport and the community are set for the next 40 years, compatible with evolving technology, industries, and more.
The Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects handles the infrastructure development of this massive airport. Many modern energy management, automation, and engineering feats will be implemented on this megaproject that is set for a massive set of synchronized tasks on a daily basis.
Currently, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia holds the crown for the largest airport in the world by area. However, Al Maktoum International Airport is set on a course to bring that crown to the UAE with its initiation in 2034.
Currently, the operational sections of the Al Maktoum International Airport are being utilized for repairs, maintenance, and overhauls, along with private and charter jet services. Many of the main air cargo operators use this airport for their operations.
With many strong investors and service providers in the UAE and internationally already involved in this project, the world can only expect supremacy in air traffic operation and passenger services. Even though this is already set to steal the spotlight for being the best, the government and the developers strive to give more to the projects that grow with the airport, creating a massive amount of jobs, residential spaces, investment opportunities, and basically an international hub for top-notch financial and business operations.
