Dubai airport expansion

Heathrow and Dubai manage very well on the two that they have - plus this won’t happen for a long time anyway, even if for some reason it did get approved. (I’d probably be a middle aged man before this happens)

It’s assumed knowledge that EK is Emirates on this forum. Google has the answer to anything, anyway

Wow, that’s a lot of expansion.

EK - Emirates Airlines

It’s not, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is. DXB is the busiest for international travel

You quoted me on the wrong thing, I said " one of, if not the busiest "

I would love to see an expanded or even a new airport in Dubai. Terminal 2 at OMDB definitely needs a renovation.

Why? I doubt that Dubai will ever need an airport this big and they already have two.

I was watching a really interesting documentary on this. - YouTube

‘Ultimate Airport Dubai’ - A fair few interesting episoides, but a lot are about the development of the new terminal.

yea, once they run out of oil

Dubai’s economy earns more from tourism than oil now.

Yep, Dubai’s oil is estimated to run out by 2025 I think, hence why they are building so many things such as the palm deira, the worlds largest theme park which is is expected to be completed by 2019 and Abu Dhabi’s jeddah tower is going to be the new worlds tallest building with a height of 1,000 metres tall I think which is expected to be completed by 2019. They are also planning to build the worlds fastest train, " The Hyperloop " it is apparently going to travel faster than an airliner, travelling at more than 500mph it is apparently going to travel 100 miles in just 10 minutes! incoming cringy text Now that’s what I call efficient!

Just saying but I’m sure that’s Elon Musk’s idea and he is planning to go SF to LA?
