Dubai airport's November passenger traffic falls

Dubai International Airport’s monthly passenger numbers dropped in November, leaving the world’s busiest airport for international travellers needing a record month to meet its full-year target. The number of passengers using the airport fell 0.8 percent to 6.9m in November, said operator Dubai Airports on Sunday. For the first 11 months of the year, 81.4m passengers have used the airport, up 1.3%. That means the airport needs a record 8.9m passengers in December to meet its previously stated full-year target of 90.3m. The highest number of passengers to travel through Dubai airport in a single month was 8.37m in August 2018. Dubai airport has seen the rate of passenger traffic growth slow this year after 15 years of strong increases.<br/>
