The opening of the passenger terminal at Dubai's new airport will be further delayed to 2012, but the emirate's air industry should benefit from unrest in the Arab world, the chief executive of Dubai Airports said.
"Over the next year or so, we are adding larger aircraft and higher passenger numbers," Paul Griffiths said yesterday. "It [Al Maktoum airport] will become a scheduled passenger and cargo airport during 2012."
The opening of the Al Maktoum airport, estimated to cost around $34 billion (Dh124.8 billion), to passengers had been already delayed to the last quarter of 2011 from March.
