Dubai's aviation ambition grows again - News & Advice, Travel - The Independent

Dubai authorities have approved a massive expansion to the emirate's current airport.

The $7.8 billion project will lift capacity at Dubai International, the busiest airport in the United Arab Emirates, to some 90 million passengers a year by 2018 and was approved by Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum this week.

Incredibly, it comes on top of Dubai's current project to build Dubai World Central, the world's largest airport which is currently taking shape outside of the Emirate's urban area and is expected to be capable of handing 160 million passengers a year.
