It will be built in Jebel Ali port. and the first runway will be finished this year.

I am wondering when it will be opened.

Is that what they'll call it? I figured it's called Jebel Ali International. I don't think it's on schedule.

It appears to be Dubai World Central International Airport.
Who knows if it will be renamed later.

I always found the term "Dubai World" odd. Sort of the like the "British American School In Sharjah" (or something) I saw on a bus.

And World + International? Are they kidding?
Put that Dubai Earth World Globe Central International Airport Center

It was Jebel Ali International Airport. Got renamed to Dubai World Central International Airport I think in 2005. Airport code is still JXB. First phase due to open 2008 but a delay wouldn't be a surprise.
