Dubai Begins Construction On $35 BILLION World’s Largest Mega Airport - Al Maktoum International Airport

Dubai International Airport is shutting down! Yes you heard that right. Soon, the airport will cease operations, and all air travel will be transferred to the new venue. In a bold move to expand and modernize its aviation industry, Dubai has begun construction on a $35 billion massive new airport which is slated to become the world’s biggest airport upon completion. The new airport will feature five parallel runways and 400 aircraft gates, and it will be capable of handling more than 260 million passengers annually, along with 12 million tons of freight. Not just that, the airport will be the heart of a new megacity that is already taking shape, promising to house 1 million people in the near future.
