World’s biggest Airport Opens in Dubai

It sounds good for all the plane travelers, as the emirates new airport celebrate the arrival of their first commercial flight. Al Maktoum International Airport is located in Jebel Ali and is part the Dubai World Central. It is expected to be titled as the world's largest airport, after its completion.

The aviation industry in Dubai has achieved its biggest milestone on Sunday. The Dubai International Airport is considered as the main airport of emirates and is located at about 50 kilometers in the north. Al Maktoum International Airport is also owned by the Dubai government and is under the supervision of Dubai Airports Company.

According to the earlier prediction, full commercial passenger services will be starting in 2017. But, because of some regional financial crisis there are some changes in the existing schedule, which sets the date of its launch by 2027.

The total cost spent on this mega project is expected to be 120 billion dirham's ($32.67 billion). Since 2010, this airport has been opened for all the cargo flights, but not for commercial passenger services.

The first airline to be welcomed at the new passenger terminal was the Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air. This airline was welcomed with customary festive water salute. Two other airplanes were also launched at the International airport. These were, Jazeera Airways, Kuwait-based low-cost carrier and Bahrain's full-service airline Gulf Air.
