UAE: Over 43m passengers pass through in Dubai International in first half
Passenger traffic at Dubai International topped 43m in the first half of 2017, according to a traffic report issued by operator Dubai Airports. The figure for the first half of this year marks a 6.3% increase over the same period in 2016 when 40.5m passengers used the airport. In June alone, over 6m passengers passed through Dubai International, up 3.9% over the 5.86m in June 2016. Dubai Airports said the modest growth in June was due to the month coinciding with Ramadan when passenger traffic is traditionally slow. In the first 6 months of this year, the top country destinations in terms of total passenger volumes were India (with 5.94m passengers), Saudi Arabia (3.1m passengers), the UK (3m), Pakistan (2.2m), and the US (1.56m). <br/>
