Dubai International Airport is set to close in Dubai in 2032 as part of a major aviation shift to Al Maktoum International Airport, according to chief executive Paul Griffiths, in a report by The Mirror. The announcement does not mean an immediate closure.
Dubai International Airport will continue operating at full capacity for years, but officials say it is already approaching its physical limits. The move is part of an expansion strategy that has been in development for more than a decade, designed to keep Dubai at the centre of global air travel as passenger numbers continue to rise.
