Talk:Al Maktoum International Airport

message: ----
Hi, I found this airport on Google maps. Is this JXB, already under construction? Or is it something military? -- H005 13:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't the following a subjective comment?
"Hotels and shopping malls (include many, very expensive stores)"
It is one of the bullet points under the "Overview" heading in the article. Perhaps the part about the stores being very expensive should be rephrased or removed. -- Dancinginblood 17:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

:Dubai World Central will include:
:(...)
:* Three passenger terminals including two luxury facilities; one dedicated to airlines of The Emirates Group, the second to other carriers, and the third dedicated to low cost carriers.
:(...)
:* Al Maktoum International Airport will be used by foreign carriers only. Emirates operations (both passenger and cargo) will remain at Dubai International Airport.
Don't the above contradict each other? 86.56.43.62 (talk) 18:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the main problem is that the project is so far from final completion, and there is very little information available about the operation. It is not known yet what will become of the old International airport, and thus you have rumors and speculation, and in this case, 2 contradicting sentences. Bottom line is that normally all information should be sourced. But this is not. Greekboy (talk) 20:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Has that figure been researched? The average construction cost for an airport this size is around $15-25 billion. Kansai International Airport had a total cost of around $15 billion and they build an entire artificial island for it to be built on.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacontes (talk • contribs) 22:24, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  I don't see how it could possibly cost $82 billion. 

message: Not to be the biased Westerner here, but have some of these proposed statistics (160 million passengers a year) been validated by third-party groups? I have trouble believing that a total like that would be reached, especially with Dubai International nearby. KBurchfiel (talk) 01:25, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I propose when differentiating between DBX and DWC:
DBX will be listed as "Dubai"  
DWC will be listed as "Dubai-Maktoum"
Any thoughts?

replies: text: When the airport officially has passenger service (October 27, 2013, I believe are the first flights), then both airports in Dubai will need to be disambiguated (DXB as "Dubai-International" and DWC as "Dubai-World Central" as most airport articles where airlines will be starting to serve DWC). But for at the moment, DXB should remain at just "Dubai" until the flights commence. 68.119.73.36 (talk) 02:40, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with the above statements. There's nothing to disambiguate now, as there's still only one airport in operation.--Jetstreamer  13:35, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: While I don't think it's necessary to change Dubai to Dubai-International just yet, I don't think it hurts either with the start of operations at DWC imminent. In other words, I wouldn't put in the effort to revert the change now, just to change it again later this month, since "Dubai-International" is currently a correct title. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 19:39, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note that DWC is already in operation as a cargo airport, so disambiguation is necessary now at least in the cargo destination tables. Further, what name should be used for DWC: should we use "Dubai-World Central" or "Dubai-Al Maktoum"? The name "World Central" was the original project's name and it covers the whole logistic nature of the area and not just the airport, while "Al Maktoum" was adopted later after the airport was granted the DWC code. Hence, there's no significance for the "WC" in the code, as the official "Al Maktoum" name was adopted at a later stage. So I think that the name should be "Dubai-Al Maktoum".

If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.

When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
