Dubai International Airport opens Concourse D

Concourse D is expected to increase capacity to 90 million passengers per year from 75 million. 

The concourse is linked to the newly-renovated Terminal 1 by an airport train that can transport 300 passengers per trip. 

Paul Griffiths, chief executive of Dubai Airports said: “Aside from its many customer-centric features, Concourse D continues our legacy of providing timely capacity. We also announce our 2016 forecast which projects 85 million passengers will visit Dubai International this year. With the addition of Concourse D, Dubai International is getting both bigger and better.”
