The World's biggest airport being built in Dubai

Dubai World Central (DWC) - the massive 140km2 urban aviation community - is beginning to take shape.

Dubai World Central, which is focused around the Al Maktoum International Airport (JXB) also contains Dubai Logistics City (DLC).

JXB will feature two mega-terminals and six concourses designed to handle in excess of 120 million passengers and 12 million tonnes annually.

DLC will make up one part of the world's first integrated, multi-modal logistics platform in a single-bonded free zone environment comprising DLC, JXB, Aviation City and Jebel Ali port. It is being designed to become the region's unchallenged logistics hub, catering to two billion people throughout the Middle East, Indian sub-continent, Africa and the CIS, which are all within three to four hours flying time of Dubai.
