Dubai's giant airport sets new passenger record in 2025

Dubai's main airport once again set a passenger record last year and looks set to retain the title of busiest airport in the world for international passenger traffic.

95.2 million travelers passed through the airport's terminals in 2025, an increase of just over 3 percent, writes the AFP news agency.

However, the fact that aviation traffic has shaken off the pandemic and climate worries is leading to severe growing pains. Dubai's air traffic will have to move to the new Al Maktoum International Airport, where Norwegian already flies, within a few years. That airport is south of the city and has more room to grow.

The global aviation statistics for 2025 are not yet complete, but overall - with both domestic and international passengers - Atlanta in the USA is expected to be the largest in the world.
