Dubai South Real Estate To Rise Amid Massive Al Maktoum Airport Expansion Plan.


On Sunday, the Ruler of Dubai, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, announced the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South. The primary purpose of this expansion is to build a new passenger terminal that can accommodate 260 million passengers every year.

 

Expansion Cost 

The airport's expansion costs are valued at AED 128 billion (approximately $34.8 billion). This expansion is expected to be five times larger than Dubai International Airport (DXB), with 260 million passenger accommodations annually. Moreover, once the construction is completed, all operations will be transferred from Dubai International to Al Maktoum International.
