Anyone where is the new airport gonna be????

thought it was right next to the old one or is that just an extension?

My God... Is there anything that they are not either building from scratch or upgrading in this city????

i heard some 6 months ago that it will be somewhere south-side of Jebel Ali; which will be further down towards Abu Dhabi. i m not quite sure though if its going to be close to Dubai Land... but yeah.. thats an idea!!

New airport cos I am coming ! WOW! Arabs are really know for their hospitality.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, if you mean the Jebal Ali Airport, then that will be the new cargo Terminal, or so it has been rumoured.

The new Dubai Aiport is right next to the old one, I see it every day!

alrite guys when the airport opens we are going to see it , hear it, feel it etc. Y discuss now? U wanna get a porter job or what?

Thank you, just getting an idea where I am going to stay later.

oh i used to see it everyday too i lived in Rashideyye b4 however how big is that building up, its still an extension of the old one!

another terminal hub is being built up as a cargo center for perishable items; i.e. flowers and such. i read about it some time back. its on the way to sharjah way before galadari building on the right side, forgot the name of the rd...

as for the jebel ali, yeah it might be a cargo thing too, mainly to support the jebel ali zone. i cant recall however where i heard about an airport over there... maybe gulf news.. i ll bring a source next time i m on...

well u know how things are around here, there might be 3 new airports by the end of this thread

The current Dubai International Airport is undergoing a massive expansion which should be finished by the end of 2006. The expanded airport will have the capacity to handle 60 million passengers a year.

Also, a new airport, the Jebel Ali International Airport, is being built and it will be done completely by 2020, although other phases will open earlier. The Jebel Ali airport will initially be used for cargo and low-fares airlines, but later on will accomodate other passenger airlines. It will have a capacity to handle 120 million passengers a year, and also has a residential and commercial tower complex right next to it, made up of 800 towers ranging from 50 metres to 300 metres.
