Dubai airport passenger traffic climbs in June on Ramadan effect | Reuters:

The number of passengers travelling through Dubai International Airport rose 11.7 percent in June, rebounding from declines in April and May, largely because of the impact of the holy month of Ramadan on traffic.

The world’s busiest airport for international travellers handled 6.80 million passengers last month compared with 6.08 million a year earlier, its operator said on Wednesday.

The sharp increase was largely due to the timing of Ramadan, when passenger traffic typically slows, Dubai Airports said in a statement. Ramadan fell mostly in June 2017 but was more evenly split between May and June this year.
