DUBAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Posted on 21 November 2009
The Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International airport (DWC-AMI) is to be provided with a direct connection to the Dubai metro and later to the Union Railway, to help it serve a wider catchment of passengers beyond Dubai when fully developed by 2020.
“I know that the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the Union Railway company is talking to integrate the DWC-AMI in to their network which will help passengers as we look to serve 160 million when the airport is fully developed,” Paul Griffiths, chief executive of Dubai Airports, a Dubai government-owned company that will operate both airports, told Gulf News at the recent Air Show.
When complete, the DWC-AMI is to have six concourses, two terminals, five runways and associated facilities to serve 160 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo per annum.
It will be part of a huge 140 square kilometre development called Dubai World Central that will include the Dubai aviation city, Dubal logistics city, Dubai exhibition city, the commercial city, the residential city a golf course and resort cluster.
DWC-AMI will be at the core of its operation as the centrepiece development.
