Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum has approved a massive AED 128 billion ($34.85 billion) expansion for Al Maktoum International Airport. The project will make it the world’s largest, handling up to 260 million passengers—five times Dubai International Airport’s capacity.

With 400 terminal gates and five runways, operations from Dubai International will eventually shift to Al Maktoum, cementing Dubai’s role as a global aviation hub.
