Dubai International Airport plans to handle 25-30 million more passengers by expanding terminals and optimizing throughput in existing areas.
The future of Dubai's airport landscape lies with the Al Maktoum International Airport, also known as Dubai World Central.
Dubai International Airport would be closed down once Dubai World Central is fully operational due to the expense of operating two airports in close proximity.
