Photos: How Dubai International Airport looked like in 1960
Dubai - From welcoming a few thousand passengers in 1960 to 90 million in 2018.
Dubai International Airport, the emirate's gateway to the world has come a long way. From modest beginnings, the airport is now one of the best there is today. And the hits just keep on coming. Khaleej Times had reported earlier that Dubai International (DXB) has maintained its position as the world's busiest airport for international passengers for the fifth consecutive year.

To celebrate the achievement, Emirates shared a photo of how DXB looked back in 1960. The photo, which the airline shared on Twitter shows what looks like a single terminal building as well as the air traffic control tower. On the tarmac, a few passenger planes are seen - there's even an Air India flight in the photo!
Coupled with it is a more recent photo of Terminal 3 - Emirates' hub in DXB. According to the tweet, the airport started from welcoming only a few thousand passengers back in 1960. Fifty-nine years later, the airport has welcomed nearly 90 million passengers last year.
Dubai first became the world's busiest airport for international passenger traffic in 2014 when it overtook London's Heathrow Airport.
