Dubai International (DXB) has become the second busiest airport globally for the first time, moving up five places from its position in 2022. This achievement, driven by the visionary leadership of UAE Prime Minister and Ruler HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, reinforces the airport’s role at the forefront of global travel and connectivity.

The Airports Council International (ACI) recently unveiled its preliminary top ten busiest airports globally for 2023, with a total passenger forecast of almost 8.5 billion, reflecting a major recovery of 93.8% from pre-pandemic numbers. The rankings are based on data gathered from over 2,600 airports across over 180 countries and territories. Factors driving global air travel in 2023 include China’s reopening and a greater inclination towards travel despite macroeconomic conditions.

DXB’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Griffiths, expressed immense pride in DXB’s achievement, underscoring the airport’s years-long dominance in air travel. He attributed DXB’s remarkable achievement over the past decade to collaborations with multiple airlines and the importance of improving the airport experience for travelers. Griffiths expressed his commitment to maintaining DXB’s dominant position for the next decade and beyond.

In terms of international passengers, the top 10 busiest airports in 2023 include Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, London, Tokyo, Denver, Istanbul, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Delhi.
