Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai World Central on its way to becoming world's largest airport | The National:

"The first passenger flight arrived yesterday at Al Maktoum International Airport, marking a milestone in Dubai’s plan to create the world’s largest airport.

The Hungarian budget carrier Wizz Air commenced operations at Al Maktoum with a flight from Budapest, inaugurating the airport’s passenger terminal.

The airport was scheduled to open in March 2011 but that was delayed twice.

Al Maktoum “will play a vital role in the future development of Dubai as a centre for trade, commerce, transport and logistics and tourism”, said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and the chairman of Dubai Airports."
