Dubai airport passenger traffic falls 2.4% in third quarter - Reuters:
Dubai International, the world’s busiest airport for international travelers, reported a 2.4% fall in third-quarter passenger traffic on Thursday.
The airport, home to airlines Emirates and flydubai, said it handled 22.6 million passengers in the three months to Sept. 30. That compares with roughly 23.2 million in the same period a year ago.
In the first nine months of this year, 64.5 million passengers traveled through the airport, 4.5% fewer than the same period last year.
Operator Dubai Airports blamed the year-to-date decline on a 45-day closure of a runway between May and April, and the global grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX jet since March.
