Aeroportul Internaţional din Dubai a înregistrat 89,1 milioane de pasageri în 2018, ratându-şi ţinta pe care şi-a propus-o, dar cu toate acestea a rămas cel mai mare aeroport internaţional din lume, transmite Agerpres, cu referire la Reuters. Operatorul Dubai Airports a anunţat luni că traficul de pasageri a avansat cu un procent anul trecut, cel mai slab ritm de creştere anual din ultimul deceniu, astfel că nu a putut fi atinsă ţinta de 90,3 milioane de pasageri preconizată. 2018 este primul an în care aeroportul Internaţional din Dubai, unde îşi au baza de operaţiuni companiile Emirates şi flydubai, a înregistrat o încetinire a creşterii numărului de pasageri după 15 ani de creştere solidă. Printre factori se numără încetinirea economiei Golfului din cauza preţului scăzut al petrolului care a afectat industria turistică din regiune. Anterior, însă, operatorul aeroportului din Dubai şi-a exprimat convingerea că, până în 2021, acest aeroport va putea devansa aeroporturile din Atlanta şi Beijng pentru a deveni cel mai mare din lume.
