With construction under way on the new Dubai World Central airport, the existing Dubai International Airport (DXB) is continuing to grow, as planned, to allow it to be capable of handling 68 million pasengers in 2010, although current projections foresee an actual throughput of 50.8 million at that time (see chart). Here at the Dubai Air Show, the airport authority is unveiling a new logo and name. It is dropping the word “Airport,” thus the airport is to be called simply Dubai International.

DXB is part of the newly created Dubai Airports Co. (DAC), a subsidiary of the Dubai Department of Civil Aviation. On October 1, Paul Griffiths, formerly managing director of London Gatwick Airport, took over as the new company’s CEO.
