Dubai Al Maktoum DWC Airport Overview

Dubai Al Mactum International Airport DWC - a new Airport officially to open in October 2013. The Airport is part of 'Dubai World Central' - one of the most ambitious projects of its kind in the world, to include residential, commercial and logistics complex scheme.  DWC is the world’s first integrated logistics platform, with value-added services, such as manufacturing & assembly, in a single bonded free-zone environment, offering links to all of the country’s main motorways, the upcoming GCC high speed rail network and the Airport.

The Airport is located in Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and  upon its completion is to be the world’s largest passenger & cargo hub airport. It is to complement the Dubai International Airport - 40 km away - which will be linked by a high-speed train.
However, according to a recent announcement by Gulf Business - the Airport is to be used predominantly for private jets and cargo planes.

With a 4,500 meter runway (and upon completion a total of three runways of the same size), the Airport will accomodate large aircraft like the  Airbus A380.

The new passenger terminal with 66,000 square meters has completed its first phase of construction with a single level, accommodating up to 5 million passengers a year.

Present and future Airport Developments:  Future Airport Plans call for a total of five even-length runways with a large passenger terminal complex in the center, divided into  three terminals and concourses, and housing three types of special lounge facilities for the Emirates Group, for other regular airlines and for low-cost carriers. It is planned to also include an abundance of parking spaces, hotels & shopping malls, 16 cargo terminals, and Executive and Royal jet centers.
With the added three concourses,  DWC could accommodate 90 million passengers a year by 2018.
The Dubai Metro and a Dubai World Central light railway will service the Airport.
Upon final completion around 2025, it is anticiptated that DWC Airport will have 5 runways and 4 passenger terminals with a capacity of 160 million passengers/yr.
