The Dubai airport has long been a reliable barometer for global aviation, though total airport traffic worldwide is still just short of pre-COVID levels, according to the International Air Transport Association. |
Passenger traffic at Dubai this year has been driven by trips to India, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Pakistan and Russia. |
