Dubai International Airport DXB
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · Large airport · ICAO OMDB
Built its traffic on one-stop connections rather than local demand, which is why it can be busier than the city it serves would suggest. Terminal 3 is Emirates' own and is among the largest airport buildings in the world; Terminal 2 is a separate site on the far side of the runways.
