But isnt there huge construction work going on in DXB at the minute. I remember news of some workers being killed there. I dont think DXB is as slot restricted as some airports but perhaps they are planning for the future??? And it must be a BIG future.
Dubai is desparately building up their tourist industry for 20 years down the line when they run out of oil. Hence these projects with the man-made islands of the world and the palm trees. Two airports would cater for this tourist industry very nicely.

I used to live in dubai and judging by most things there, this airport should (stereotypically of the area) be bigger and more ridiculously more extravagent than any other

As far as I am aware this will be a Low Cost Airline airport. The goverment there doesnt want LCCs getting in the way and taking up slots at DXB.
I don’t think so. This airport is going to be HUGE.

“When completed, the airport will have the capacity to handle 120 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo annually.”
