The president of the Dubai International Airport, Griffin, said on Tuesday (February 22) that the passenger flow of Dubai Airport, the busiest international airport in the world, will not be able to recover to the level before the crown disease before 2024.
According to Agence France -Presse, Griffin said that although the total passenger flow of Dubai Airport increased by 29.1 million last year, "far from the level before the epidemic."
Data released by Dubai Airport on Tuesday shows that the total passenger flow of the airport last year increased by 12.7%over 2020, which means that Dubai has maintained the world's busiest international airport title for the eighth consecutive year, but 86 million in 2019 with 86 million in 2019There is still a big gap compared to the total passenger traffic.
Griffin said, "Our current data is indeed not as good as the level before the epidemic, but it is really gratifying to become the busiest international airport in the world for the eighth consecutive year."
Dubai International Airport's total passenger flow dropped by 70%in 2020 to 25.9 million people. At that time, the airport was closed from March to July, and all the global flights were grounded.
With the gradual relaxation of tourism restrictions, one -third of the passengers flew to Dubai last season, and Dubai hosted the 2020 World Expo and Dubai Aviation Show at the same time.
Griffin said that Dubai Airport's passenger flow is expected to reach 57 million this year, hoping to eventually surpass the target."As long as the existing growth rate continues, I hope to break through the expected goal and restore to the level near the epidemic at the end of 2023."
He said that the restrictions on tourism restrictions in the Asia -Pacific region will gradually relaxNational borders allow vaccine tourists to enter the country and will stimulate the recovery of the air industry.
