Dubai International Airport opened a new concourse designed specifically to handle the operations of Double Decker A380 aircraft.
A unique terminal built for the A380 aircraft opens up a range of benefits for travellers as well as the airport crew. The new terminal helps to speed up the boarding times for passengers. In addition, reduce the gate traffic and congestion.
