I have to acknowledge there’s still a long road (runway?) ahead. Grand projects can face delays or changes(like we talked about in
Kuwait). $35 billion isn’t pocket change, even for Dubai, and timelines might shift. There’s also the human element: will travelers embrace DWC as much as they did DXB?
The bottom line is that Dubai’s second airport expansion is very exciting for the global travel community. It promises a new level of scale and possibly a redefinition of the airport experience. If you’re like me, you might find yourself in a few years eagerly booking an award ticket routing through DWC just to check it out (as long as EK doesn't keep raising their surcharges).
