Dubai Airports today announced its ten year traffic forecast for Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International (DWC) that projects international passenger and cargo traffic will increase at an average annual growth rate of 7.2% and 6.7% respectively, outperforming industry projections for average annual growth of 5% globally.
By 2020 passenger numbers will reach 98.5 million and cargo volumes will top 4.1 million tonnes.
Pace-setting growth has been the norm at Dubai International. Over the past 50 years, passenger traffic has increased at an average annual rate of 15.5%. More recently during the economic downturn in 2009, while other airports saw traffic decline, Dubai Airports saw international passenger numbers increase 9.1% demonstrating the resilience of Dubai’s aviation sector in challenging market conditions. Since 2005 traffic has almost doubled from 24.8 million to 47.2 million last year.
