(MENAFN) Dubai Airports’ chief executive, Paul Griffiths, said that last month, passenger traffic at Dubai International Airport rose by 7.3 percent from 2010’s same period of 4 million passengers to 4.3 million, reported Arab News.
Griffiths added that the increase was due to new added routes, additional frequencies and more capacity, nonetheless, traffic on the Middle Eastern routes declined in the period as a result of the region’s political unrest.
