Dubai International recorded an increase of close to 20% in passenger traffic in September, the highest monthly growth rate since October 2007 when passenger numbers jumped 25.9 per cent. It is also the fourth consecutive month of double-digit passenger traffic growth.1

The airport handled a total of 3,190,408 passengers in September 2009 compared to 2,699,806 passengers during the corresponding period last year, raising the year to date passenger throughput to 30,068,739 passengers – up 7.9 per cent over 27,852,332 in 2008.

With an average monthly throughput of 3.2 million passengers so far this year, and expectations of a sustained growth in traffic during the fourth quarter, Dubai International is on track to break the 40 million passenger mark projected for 2009.

Cargo growth remained stable in September with a modest increase of 2.75 per cent. Dubai Airports Cargo handled 168,334 tonnes of freight in September 2009 compared to 163,836 tonnes during the same period last year.

Year-to-date cargo volumes total 1,366,880 tonnes compared to 1,361,358 tonnes in 2008, a marginal increase of 0.4 per cent.
