Dubai’s airport authority has announced the resumption of full operations at Dubai International following the re-opening of the airport’s northern runway after refurbishment. The newly-upgraded runway will allow the airport to accommodate more aircraft while improving operational flexibility during busy peak traffic periods. The runway upgrades were part of Dubai Airports’ $7.8bn long-term expansion plans aimed at expanding capacity to help accommodate more than 103 million passengers by 2020. During the temporary runway closure, some flights were moved to Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai World Central (DWC).
