British Gulf International Airlines, Air India, Biman Airlines, Jubba Airways, Pakistan International etc. operate their regular flights from the Dubai International Airport.

Dubai International Airport will be complemented by Al Maktoum International Airport, a new airport which is under construction right now.

This airport will be about ten times larger than Dubai International Airport and Dubai Cargo Village if both combined. Keeping future in mind, Al Maktoum International Airport proposes to handle all the next-generation aircrafts including the A380 super-jumbo. The airport will be able to help land up to four aircrafts simultaneously, 24 hours a day thus minimizing in-air queuing.
