Dubai continues to set new global benchmarks in innovation and infrastructure. The upcoming Al Maktoum International Airport, located in Dubai South, is not just a development project, it’s a revolution in global aviation and a symbol of Dubai’s long-term vision for growth and connectivity.
Spanning an astounding 65 square kilometers, this mega project will be five times larger than the existing Dubai International Airport, officially making it the world’s largest airport once fully completed. Designed with next-generation efficiency and scalability in mind, it will feature five parallel runways, 400 contact gates, and over 19.4 million square meters of integrated facilities.
What makes this project even more visionary is its master-planned ecosystem that goes beyond aviation:
🏢 Commercial & Business Districts – fueling international trade, enterprise, and global investment opportunities.
🚛 Logistics & Aviation Districts – integrating seamlessly with Dubai’s transport and supply chain networks, cementing its status as a logistics powerhouse.
🏡 Residential & Golf Districts– offering world-class living experiences that blend lifestyle with business connectivity.
🎓 Emirates Training Centre – shaping the next generation of aviation professionals and leaders.
When completed, Al Maktoum International Airport will handle hundreds of millions of passengers annually, transforming Dubai into the world’s most connected aviation hub, a city built around global mobility, innovation, and opportunity.
Beyond aviation, this milestone is also driving a wave of real estate development in Dubai South. The region is rapidly emerging as a hotspot for investors and homebuyers, drawn by its proximity to the world’s largest airport and its evolving ecosystem of business, logistics, and lifestyle infrastructure.
This is more than an airport, it’s the foundation of Dubai’s 2050 vision, where infrastructure, innovation, and sustainability unite to redefine how the world connects and lives.
