Why Dubai? A Magnet for Travelers

Dubai’s appeal as a destination is undeniable, attracting holidaymakers, expats (88% of the population), and transit passengers en route to other corners of the globe. Ranked among the top three global travel destinations by Tripadvisor, the city’s vibrant lifestyle and growing population contribute to its bustling airport activity.

In 2024, Dubai’s population saw its highest growth in six years, further fueling demand for air travel. The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority also reported over one million air traffic movements this year, a national record.

Breaking Records and Staying on Top

DXB experienced a 7% increase in travelers compared to 2023, solidifying its dominance. On a broader scale that includes both international and domestic flights, Dubai International ranked second globally, with 62.7 million seats, just behind Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.

The UAE’s aviation sector is thriving, with Dubai leading the charge thanks to its strategic location, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and unmatched connectivity.

A Glimpse into the Future

With global rankings and an ever-growing influx of passengers, Dubai International Airport isn’t just a transit hub—it’s a symbol of the UAE’s ambition and innovation. As more travelers flock to the city, DXB’s legacy as a leader in global aviation is set to soar even higher.
