Dubai's airport chief said Monday a new airport envisioned as the world's biggest passenger and freight hub could see its first flight pushed back further than planned.
In addition, Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths said the number of runways at the colossal Al Maktoum International Airport has been scaled back to five from the six slated originally.
The new $US33 billion facility and surrounding multi-use development, being built in the desert outskirts of Dubai, now isn't expected to see action until at least June 2010, a year later than a previously planned inauguration, Griffiths said in an interview. Even that date is up in the air.
