Dubai International Airport, one of the busiest in the world, is set to close in the coming decades in a move that could affect millions of UK tourists who flock to the Gulf city each year.
The airport, known as DXB, currently handles more than 90 million passengers annually and is a key gateway for long-haul travel from the UK. But its boss, Paul Griffiths, says all services will eventually be moved to the newer Al Maktoum International Airport — known as DWC — which is undergoing a massive £28 billion expansion.
