Dubai plant Bau des «weltweit grössten» Flughafens

Dubai plant, den Al Maktum International Airport mit einem Budget von 32 Milliarden Franken zu erweitern, um 260 Millionen Passagiere jährlich abzufertigen.

Aktuell starten und landen die meisten Flugzeuge in Dubai beim Dubai International Airport. Das soll sich aber bald ändern, denn der Scheich Mohammed bin Raschid al Maktum möchte den aktuell weit kleineren Al Maktum International Airport ausbauen und zum grössten Flughafen der Welt machen.

«Wir haben die Entwürfe für das neue Passagierterminal am Flughafen Al Maktum International genehmigt und beginnen mit dem Bau des 128 Milliarden Dirham (rund 32 Milliarden Franken) teuren Gebäudes», erklärte Scheich Mohammed bin Raschid al Maktum.

Nach der Fertigstellung des neuen Terminals soll der Flughafen jährlich 260 Millionen Passagiere abfertigen können, erklärte die Regierung.

Scheich Mohammed zufolge soll der Flughafen die «grösste Kapazität weltweit» haben und fünf Mal so gross sein wie der andere Flughafen des Emirats, der Dubai International Airport, der zurzeit zu den verkehrsreichsten Luftdrehkreuzen der Welt zählt.

Die erste Phase des Bauprojekts soll binnen zehn Jahren fertiggestellt werden und zu einer Kapazität von 150 Millionen Passagieren pro Jahr führen, erklärte der Präsident der Zivilluftfahrtbehörde von Dubai und CEO der Fluggesellschaft Emirates, Scheich Ahmed bin Said al Maktum.

Über den am Stadtrand errichteten Flughafen Al Maktum International wird seit 2010 ein relativ geringer Anteil am Flugverkehr der Finanzmetropole am Golf abgewickelt. Den Behörden zufolge soll er den Dubai International Airport ersetzen, der eine Kapazität von bis zu 120 Millionen Passagieren pro Jahr hat und der aufgrund seiner zentrumsnahen Lage nicht erweitert werden kann.
