Speaking with TravelTV Middle East Paul Griffiths CEO Dubai Airports shared that they expect 93million passengers by the end of the year according to the latest forecast. “We’re ahead of schedule. And what we’re hoping is to see 93 million. That’s the projection. We’ve had a very strong first half this year. We’re hoping to get to 93 million by the end of the year. And 100 million, I think, may be a couple of years away. It’s interesting. Every time we revise our forecast, it’s always in the upward direction. So that’s a very positive trajectory. Well, I think the thing is the attractiveness of Dubai.” adding further on the future of travel, he reiterated, “If you can halve the time it takes a customer to get through the airport, you’ve got double the capacity without building anything, which is really good. And, of course, it’s a much better passenger experience. So the future of travel, I think, is about using technology to remove all of the legacy process that we all suffer when we go on plane trips. So that really is the key to the future of travel through airports.”
