Dubai International ‘down to 1.5m to 2m passengers a month,’ says Dubai Airports Chief

Dubai International Airport is seeing around 1.5m to 2m passengers a month, according to Dubai Airports Chief Paul Griffiths. This is “about 67% below where we were in a typical first quarter,” said Griffiths during a Centre for Aviation (CAPA) Live event on Wednesday. DXB is currently operating around 63% of the pre-COVID destinations with around 75% of its airlines present here, said Griffiths. “There are restrictions on frequency, airport capacity and aircraft capacity,” said Griffiths. “It's all working at the moment and the traffic levels are sufficient that we don't have any problems separating people but as things get busier clearly is going to be a challenge.”<br/>
