Air cargo business has decreased slightly year over year in Dubai International Airport, but it is important to remember that the sector is recalibrating from the historic highs of the past few years. Cargo traffic is concentrated in the hub airports and Hong Kong retains its top spot, Luis Felipe de Oliveira, World Director General and CEO, ACI, said. Dubai airport is the second busiest airport in the world, as per the 2023 data of the Airports Council International (ACI) World. “However, whatever position in the rankings an airport occupies, each is integral to the communities it serves. Airports are resilient, adaptable and support social and economic development. ACI World continues to advocate for airports worldwide to ensure their societal benefits are enjoyed by as many people as possible,” Oliveira said. The dataset findings indicate the demand for air travel is as strong as ever. Global passenger traffic has almost fully recovered from COVID, and the regional disparities are gone. “The revival of Middle East and Asia-Pacific hubs are the standout takeaway from 2023 figures,” he added.
