DescriptionAl Maktoum International Airport (IATA: DWC, ICAO: OMDW) is an international airport in Jebel Ali, 37 kilometres (23 mi) southwest of Dubai, United Arab Emirates that opened in June 2010. It is the main part of Dubai World Central, a planned residential, commercial and logistics complex.
The airport has a projected annual capacity of 12 million tonnes (12,000,000 long tons; 13,000,000 short tons) of freight and between 160 million and 260 million passengers. As of December 2014, only a handful of airlines operate passenger services out of Al Maktoum International Airport. The airport will be the largest component of Dubai World Central with a surface area of more than 280 square kilometres (110 sq mi). If completed as planned, the airport will have an annual cargo capacity of 62 million tonnes (61,000,000 long tons; 68,000,000 short tons), and a passenger capacity of up to 851 million people per year. This would make it the largest airport in the world in both physical size and passenger volume.
Al Maktoum International Airport intends to handle all types of aircraft. Up to four aircraft will be able to land simultaneously. The total cost of the airport has been estimated by the Dubai government to be $82 billion. The above description has been prepared by IPACS forum user JetJockey10.
