Dubai International Airport (DXB) is now 100% operational with the opening of the final phase of Concourse A at Terminal 3.
All terminals, concourses, lounges, restaurants and retail outlets are now open.
Over 1.6 million passengers are expected to travel during the second half of December, due to the peak seasonal travel period.
More than 1 million passengers travelled in October with 1 million travelling in a week during November, reaching 94% of pre-pandemic levels.
By the end of 2021, the number of passengers is expected to hit 28.9 million, which is 2.1 million more than the September 2021 forecast.
Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports said, "Reaching the point where 100% of our facilities are now open and serving customers, plus the huge resurgence in passengers arriving into Dubai marks an important milestone for the aviation sector as well as for the city of Dubai and its economic growth. We took early steps to implement best-in-class hygiene and health protocols, fast track PCR testing facilities, and enhanced customer service and guest support resources to ensure the comfort, convenience and safety of travellers – and this has resulted in a strong recovery towards pre-pandemic levels of passengers."
