About Dubai Airport
The United Arab Emirates’ Dubai Airport is the busiest airport on the Arabian Peninsula. It’s home to the largest passenger and cargo hub in the world, and it serves more than 220 flights to 62 international destinations (including six domestic destinations), carrying more than 80 million passengers annually.
Dubai Airport has full security screening for all international flights, and Dubai City Airport has full security screening for all domestic flights. Dubai Airport is open to international flights up to 23,000 feet, and there’s no restriction on flying up to the maximum destination height of 25,000 feet.
Dubai City is the UAE’s second-largest city. It’s about four times the size of Dubai Airport and has nine airports, making it a transit airport. Dubai City Airport is just six miles from Dubai International Airport, and it’s within 30 minutes of Dubai’s city center by the Airport Express Train.
Designed to serve the city’s huge passenger and cargo capacity, Dubai City Airport is a terminal-based airport. It features an average hourly capacity of 2,200 departing flights, with 30-minute security screening (on certain international routes).
Flight Range
New York City and Dubai’s flight schedules are set up similarly to New York City and Abu Dhabi’s flight schedules. Dubai is one of only two international airports in the world to have a daily passenger terminal landing from six different flights and six different airports in the world. Dubai’s flight schedule is based on the airlines’ flight schedules.
While Dubai City Airport is accessible for arriving international flights, Dubai International Airport is far more convenient for departing international flights. The flight schedule at Dubai International Airport features the world’s shortest flight radius. With 16 daily flights out to more than six destinations, Dubai International Airport offers airlines such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, and Etihad Airways a shorter flight turnaround time and a relatively short flight route. This means more opportunities for business travel in the UAE, with shorter trips to popular destinations such as Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, South Africa, and the US.
Access to Dubai International Airport
With 16 international flights from six different airports, Dubai International Airport provides access to international travel destinations to a much larger global market than Dubai City Airport. Dubai International Airport is an international gateway for flights to over 150 cities across six different continents. It provides direct flights to six international cities in Asia: Beijing, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore. It provides direct flights to nine international cities in Europe, including Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Brussels, Frankfurt, and London. It also provides direct flights to one international city in South America, with flights to Buenos Aires, which has a nine-hour flight distance. Dubai International Airport provides direct flights to nine international cities in the Middle East, with flights to Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Jeddah.
On September 24, 2021, Dubai International Airport was approved to use the newest global air traffic management technology from Lockheed Martin, as it leveraged Dubai Airports’ global airport network. Over the next ten years, the technology will assist in the management of about 3.3 million flights in the UAE.
With access to Dubai’s unique airport system, international travel becomes increasingly seamless and accessible. Dubai International Airport offers a seamless connection to over 150 destinations across six continents, with new connections and increased frequencies to existing destinations. This creates a world-class travel experience with convenient and streamlined flight connections, security screening at a minimal wait time, and a unique travel experience that can’t be matched.

Johannesburg Airport
Johannesburg is split into a number of ‘clusters’. For an example of the difficulty of getting information in Johannesburg go here.

When you fly to Johannesburg International Airport you go through the City of Joburg’s city border. For international passengers travelling to the International City of Johannesburg (I.C.J.) you can travel to I.C.J via the O. R. Tambo International Airport.
We think that if you’re flying for business, you’ll want to fly into Johannesburg’s International City (I.C.J.) anyway to get to the International Business Centre.
To get to I.C.J go to O. R. Tambo International Airport and check in to your international flight. Then inquire for information on the International City of Johannesburg at the international arrivals terminal (on the right hand side).
On the airport map of the International City of Johannesburg, it’s easier to just go to the City Centre Airport in O. R. Tambo Airport. There’s a number for the City Centre Airport and you can get details from there.
