UAE: Passenger traffic at DWC increases to 900,000
Passenger traffic at Dubai World Central (DWC) rose 6.4% in 2017 to reach 900,000 passengers compared to 850,633 in 2016, driven by an easing of visa regulations to Russian citizens. Dubai Airports said the traffic in 2017 was boosted by an increase in traffic on Eastern European routes, which recorded a spike of 168% to take the passenger numbers to 452,631. Russia was the single largest contributor to traffic from Eastern Europe after the UAE started offering visas on arrival to Russian visitors. Nearly 279,100 Russian passengers used DWC in 2017. Western Europe also recorded a rise in traffic, with passengers from there reaching 94,452 — up nearly 35%. Germany was the largest contributor in the region, supported by the launch of service by Condor connecting DWC. <br/>
