Dubai International Airport Is Officially The World’s Busiest Airport With 43 Million Passengers In 2017 Already
Dubai International Airport has been identified as the world’s busiest airport once again.
As more routes are launched, the airport gets filled with more and more international passengers.
Last year, Reuters reported that 2016 proved to be the second slowest annual growth rate in eight years for the airport, with 83.6 million passengers.
Forecasts were made that 2017 would represent an increase of 6.5% more passengers than the previous year as they would be seeing an addition of 11 new destinations.
