Dubai International (DXB) is on track to welcome 4.3 million guests in the first 15 days of the year, setting the stage for its busiest January yet.
Daily traffic is projected to peak on January 3, with over 311,000 guests expected.
With an average of 287,000 guests passing through daily during this period - eight per cent higher than the same period in 2024 and six per cent higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2018-19 - DXB is operating at volumes akin to its busiest months ever.
The numbers reflect a surge in international visitors flying out after the festive season, coupled with residents returning from holidays.
