DXB is on track to have a record-breaking start to 2025

Dubai International (DXB) is expected to have its busiest January yet, with 4.3 million visitors in the first 15 days of the year. Over 311,000 visitors are anticipated on January 3rd, when daily traffic is predicted to peak.

With an average of 287,000 visitors per day during this time, which is 8% more than during the same period in 2024 and 6% more than pre-pandemic levels in 2018–19, DXB is functioning at volumes comparable to its busiest months ever, proving its capacity to easily and efficiently meet the demand for travel around the world.

This outstanding performance is due to both residents returning from vacation and an increase in foreign tourists departing after the holiday season.

DXB, the top airport in the world for international travel, continues to set the standard for operational excellence by providing flawless connectivity and an unparalleled guest experience on a remarkable scale.
