The $35 Billion Airport That Will Change Dubai Forever

Dubai is building something extraordinary — an airport designed to handle up to 260 million passengers every year. Al Maktoum International Airport, located in Dubai South, is set to become the world's largest airport. With a planned investment of AED 128 billion (approximately $35 billion), five runways, massive passenger terminals and an ambitious vision for the future of global aviation, this project could reshape how the world travels. But why does Dubai need another mega airport when Dubai International Airport (DXB) is already one of the busiest airports in the world? In this documentary, we explore the vision behind Al Maktoum International Airport, its massive masterplan, the engineering and infrastructure involved, and Dubai's ambition to transform Dubai South into a global aviation and logistics hub. In this documentary, we'll explore: Why Dubai is planning to shift its aviation operations from DXB to Al Maktoum International Airport. The scale of the 70-square-kilometre airport masterplan. Five parallel runways and the airport's enormous passenger capacity. The futuristic terminal design and underground baggage systems. How Dubai South could become a major global economic hub. The investment, challenges and questions surrounding this ambitious project. Is Dubai building the airport of the future, or is this another mega-project that will take decades to fulfil its promise? Watch until the end to find out.
