Avatar

From a meager start at the beginning of the 1960’s, Dubai International Airport (DXB) is now the busiest airport in the world for international travellers.

And newly released images comparing Dubai airport in 1986 and 2017 show just how far the airport has come.

DXB now boasts three terminals, the fastest Wi-Fi speed of any airport in the world and has a capacity for 90 million visitors annually. But this was not always the case, and things looked quite different just twenty years ago…
