“Concourse D’s opening in February has increased DXB’s capacity to 90 million passengers a year, allowing us to continue to accommodate the rising number of people whilst boosting service levels.
“In the months ahead we will begin the complete refurbishment of Concourse C which will further improve passenger flows and the overall customer experience,” Mr. Griffiths concluded.
