- Phase 1 of the AMIA is completed and fully operational. The international airport currently has the capacity to handle 600,000 tonnes per annum.
Dubai: Dubai World Central – the Dh120 billion mega aerotropolis spread
across a 140 square kilometres patch of landmass in Jebel Ali – will get a solid
boost when scheduled passenger flights take off later this year from Al Maktoum
International Airport – the world’s biggest greenfield airport development – as
the mega project’s centre piece.
Wizz Air, the largest low-fare, low-cost airline in Central and Eastern
Europe, will start services to Dubai World Central Al Maktoum International
Airport (AMIA) from Budapest (Hungary), Bucharest (Romania), Kiev (Ukraine) and
Sofia (Bulgaria) from 28 October 2013. Wizz Air will be joined by Saudi Arabia’s
Nas Air in serving the new hub, before others join.
This will be followed by Dubai Airshow 2013, which is scheduled to take place
from 17-21 November, which might coincide a possible win of the UAE’s bid to
host Expo 2020 in Dubai – that will be a massive shot in the arm for the mega
project.
