Dubai airport passenger traffic up 12.6% in July

Dubai International Airport saw a 12.6 per cent rise in international passenger traffic and 1.9 per cent in international freight in July, said the CEO of Dubai Airports.

"The Middle East continues to demonstrate vibrant growth during the global economic downturn and Dubai International Airport is at the epicentre of that growth," said Paul Griffiths.

The airport has recorded the highest monthly growth rate since May 2008 (13.8 per cent) and the second consecutive month of double-digit growth in passenger traffic this year following the 10.3 per cent rise in June.
