Dubai - WAM

Dubai Airports has announced successful resumption of its full operations at Dubai International from yesterday following the reopening of the northern runway.
The company says that flights that had temporarily moved to Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central (DWC) while the runway upgrades were underway have now returned to Dubai International.
The number of flights at Dubai International surged by about 31 per cent with the opening of both runways, when compared to the number of flights during the 80-day closure. Despite the sudden increase in traffic, operations ran smoothly.
Dubai International now boasts two newly refurbished runways which allow the airport to accommodate more aircraft while improving operational flexibility during busy peak traffic periods. The runway upgrades were part of Dubai Airports' US$7.8billion SP2020 master-plan aimed at expanding Dubai International's capacity to help accommodate more than 103 million passengers by 2020, according to Dubai Airports.
Both of the airport's runways were closed consecutively from May 1 for 80-day period. The project involved the resurfacing of the entire 4,000-metre long northern runway as well as the upgrading of runway lighting and construction of additional taxiways and rapid exits on the southern runway.
Airlines that have moved flights from DWC back to Dubai International include flydubai, Malaysian Airlines, Royal Brunei and PAL Express as well as selected flights from Qatar Airways and Gulf Air. Four airlines will continue to offer flights from DWC including Wizz Air, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways and Jazeera Airways.
"I am pleased that our planning and preparations over the past year not only ensured that the impact on passengers during the 80-day period was minimal but that we were able to resume full operations and accommodate increased traffic at the end of the programme without a hitch," said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports.
"The runway upgrade programme tested the mettle of the over 60,000 people who work at DXB whose dedication and teamwork resulted in the successful delivery of an incredibly demanding programme, led by Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects and Dubai Airports' operations, while maintaining high traffic volumes and top-flight service levels," added Griffiths. "Additionally it allowed tens of thousands of passengers to experience the speed, convenience and efficiency of DWC, Dubai's second airport."
