Aligns With Dubaiā€™s Universal Design Code

In fact, it is also equipped with features that have been carefully designed to meet the needs of people who have autism, visual disabilities, or impaired hearing.

This is a fantastic development as DXB received 92.3 million guests in 2024. This is the highest annual traffic in the airportā€™s history! And it has continued to maintain its position as the worldā€™s busiest airport when it comes to international passenger traffic for 2024 as well.
