Dubai International Airport (DXB) has retained its crown of being the world's busiest international airport in terms of passenger numbers. In 2014, it overtook London's Heathrow airport, which had been number one for more than a decade. DXB handled a record 78 million travellers in 2015. This is an average of one passenger flying in or out every 2.5 seconds. Heathrow handled 75 million passengers but did have more daily flights than DXB. In January 2015, there were over 8,000 weekly flights from DXB, operated by 140 airlines to over 270 destinations on six continents. Dubai's other airport, Al Maktoum International, has a projected annual capacity of up to 250 million passengers.

就客運(yùn)量，迪拜國際機(jī)場成世界最繁忙機(jī)場。2014年，迪拜取代獨(dú)霸十多年的倫敦希斯羅機(jī)場。2015年，迪拜客運(yùn)量達(dá)7800萬人次，創(chuàng)下新紀(jì)錄。平均下來，每2.5秒就有一名乘客進(jìn)出機(jī)場。希斯羅的客運(yùn)量雖為7500萬，但日航班數(shù)超迪拜。2015年1月，迪拜周航班超8000架次，來自全球140個航空公司，飛駛目的地超270個，跨越六大洲。據(jù)預(yù)計(jì)，迪拜阿勒馬克圖姆國際機(jī)場的年載客量也將達(dá)到2.5億人次。

DXB is a vital part of Dubai's economy. Wikipedia says it employs, "approximately 90,000 people, indirectly supports over 400,000 jobs and contributes over $26.7 billion to the economy, which represents around 27 per cent of Dubai's GDP and 21 per cent of the employment in Dubai". The CEO of DXB, Paul Griffiths, said in a statement: "It's another banner year for Dubai International where we broke records, engaged and entertained our customers in new ways, and retained our position as the world's number one international hub." DXB will soon see another landmark when in March, the airline Emirates launches the world's longest non-stop flight, connecting Dubai with Auckland.

迪拜國際機(jī)場是迪拜經(jīng)濟(jì)的重要組成部分。據(jù)維基百科所述，職工人數(shù)約9萬，間接工作崗位超40萬，經(jīng)濟(jì)收入超260億美金，約占迪拜GDP的27%，占全國就業(yè)人數(shù)的21%。機(jī)場首席執(zhí)行官保羅·格里菲斯在聲明中表示：“今年機(jī)場完成了新指標(biāo)，我們打破了客運(yùn)量記錄，使用全新方式接待乘客，重奪最繁忙機(jī)場美稱。”今年3月，機(jī)場將再引風(fēng)向標(biāo)，阿聯(lián)酋航空設(shè)全球最長直飛航線，由迪拜飛巴拿馬。
