DWC welcomes 327k passengers in Q1; Russia leads
Accounting for nearly 50 per cent of the total traffic, Russia was the single-largest contributor to customer numbers at DWC during the three-month period with 167,934 passengers, Dubai Airports said in a statement released on Sunday.
Other major destination countries included Germany (71,162 passengers), Romania (21,097 passengers) and Hungary (12,044 passengers). Some of DWC's top destination cities during the quarter were Moscow (89,856 passengers), Bucharest (17,113 passengers) and Dusseldorf (12,387 passengers).
A total of 7,899 flights took off or landed at DWC during the first quarter, a year-on-year drop of 3.2 per cent. The airport moved a total of 43,114 tonnes of freight, a year-on-year decline of 9.3 per cent.
Passenger volumes at DWC are expected to spike in the second quarter as a direct result of a number of international airlines starting operations there following the closure of one of Dubai International's two runways for a major refurbishment from April 16 to May 30.
DWC is served by 11 passenger airlines which operate an average of 146 weekly flights to 31 international destinations. It is also home to 18 cargo operators that fly to as many as 45 cities around the world.
