Dubai Airport sees record numbers of passengers

People taking cheap flights to Dubai could find that there are a large number of other travellers in the terminal after it was reported the airport had seen a big boost in numbers last month.

According to figures released by Dubai International Airport, a record 4.7 million passengers passed through the terminal during July 2011.

This number was an increase of 400,000 people on the previous month and means that 29.2 million people used the airport during the first seven months of this year.

It was a nine per cent increase on the number of travellers recorded for the same period of 2010.

"This latest milestone further illustrates Dubai International Airport's emergence as a preeminent global hub," said Paul Griffiths, chief executive officer of Dubai Airports.

A further increase could come in September as people look for cheap flights to Dubai in order to attend the first round of the Fina Swimming World Cup.
