Dubai's main airport registered a 127% jump in annual passenger traffic to 66.1 million last year, it said on Tuesday, beating its own forecast.

Dubai International Airport (DXB), a major international hub, is forecast to welcome 78 million passengers this year as the United Arab Emirates prepares to host major international events including the COP28 climate conference.

Dubai Airports, the airport's operator, in November forecast DXB passenger traffic to reach 64.3 million in 2022.

About 60% of people travelling through DXB, the hub of airline Emirates, are origin and destination travellers while 40% are transfers, Dubai Airports Chief Executive Paul Griffiths told Reuters in his office at DXB.
