Dubai Airports has revealed that the emirate's main airport is on track to handle a record number of passengers this year after an 8 percent year-on-year increase in the first six months of 2024.

Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest airport for international passengers, handled 44.9 million passengers in the first half of this year, driven by strong demand from key markets such as India and a recovery from China. Travel from China, which has been hit hard by restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, exceeded one million passengers, up 80 percent year-on-year and accounting for 90 percent of 2019 levels.
