Built south of the city, close to the fast growing areas of “new Dubai”, DWC lies at the heart of an entire airport city.. The airport opened on June 27, 2010 for cargo operations followed by passenger flights in October 2013.
Upon completion, DWC will become the world’s largest airport with an ultimate capacity of more than 160 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo per annum. The airport forms the heart of a greater project, a 140 km2 multiphase development of six clustered zones that includes the Dubai Logistics City (DLC), Commercial City, Residential City, Aviation City and the Golf City.
