New Dubai terminal to be phased in next month
02 September 2008
Dubai Airports is currently putting measures in place to allow the phased launch of the new Terminal 3 at Dubai International.
The first steps in the transition of operations to the new terminal will take place on 14 October, with a total of four phases planned for the 'soft' opening of the facility.
Dubai Airports said that this method of opening the Emirates-dedicated terminal is intended to ensure that operational systems and processes are working efficiently for passengers and airlines.
Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, said: 'Terminal 3 and the associated development represent a much needed expansion of Dubai's aviation infrastructure.
'The new facility will play an important role in supporting Dubai's economic progress, and reaffirm the city's image as an emerging global aviation hub.'
Paul Griffiths, chief executive of Dubai Airports, added that raising standards of customer services is 'at the heart' of the company's decision to launch Terminal 3 in phases.
The opening of the new facility will boost the United Arab Emirates gateway's capacity to some 60m passengers per year.
Opodo cheap flights, hotels and car hire - let the journey begin!
