10:05 - 10:35 - DXB Plus: maintaining growth at Dubai International Airport to 2025
Synopsis: With the opening of Concourse D in 2016 and the refurbishment of Concourse C under way, Dubai Airports is planning to maintain its steady growth without significant infrastructure development as limited space remains on the city-based airport campus. Making better use of existing facilities is the new mantra, focusing primarily on an improved passenger experience at key touchpoints using smart technologies while also driving greater throughput. DXB Plus also forms an enabling part of the ultimate transition plan to the new aviation hub at Al Maktoum International Airport currently in design.

Audience will learn:

• Recap on growth since the launch of SP2020 in 2010
• Current growth predictions to 2020 and beyond
• Constraints and opportunities at Dubai International
• Passenger profiling and experience masterplan
• Scope of DXB Plus and Dubai Airports masterplan
