Dubai airport passenger traffic climbs 5.7% y/y in April

Passenger traffic through Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest airport for international passenger business, rose 5.7 per cent from a year earlier in April, its operator said on Thursday.

The number of passengers climbed to 6.51 million from 6.16 million, partly because of growth in Eastern European traffic as Dubai carrier flydubai expanded services to that region.

During the first four months of the year, passenger traffic increased 6.5 per cent to 26.12 million people.
