Is Dubai International Airport Too Big?

Emirates exclusively occupies the astoundingly large Terminal 3 here at Dubai (code: DXB / OMDB), which is presently the largest building in the world!
The scale came about due ambitious facility provisions and Emirates operating a fleet consisting of only wide-body jets, the biggest of which is the Airbus A380.

The space necessary to accommodate aviation's largest passenger jet of the moment is significantly greater than previous aircraft in use, and as is common around the world, airports like Dubai are finding it necessary to build specific gates to accommodate the A380.

DXB's official website has a useful map and preview resource, and is a wise investment in time to get acquainted with this super-sized terminal complex.


Facilities here are a shopper's dream (or nightmare; it depends who is picking up the bill!) The Dubai Airports company describes it as follows:

“Established in 1983 by the Government of Dubai, Dubai Duty Free was the first of its kind in the Middle East. To date, Dubai Duty Free, winner of over 70 international awards since 1983, continues to be a global trendsetter.”

What could be perceived as undesirable here though is the continual announcements by an automated computer system for flight information. It can get quite tedious when there are several hours until a departure yet the constant reminders and final calls for other passenger's boarding gates intersperse the shopping experience.

Contemplating the size of this building and its connections, it is understandable to feel overwhelmed if the goal is just to get from one point to another. And this is a valid criticism, for all the acclaim which accompanies the world's largest building, the disadvantage is the veritable trek to get anywhere. Sure, there are 82 moving walkways to assist, but it still takes ages!

What is a Fortress Hub Airport?

Essentially a fortress hub is any airport where one airline has a dominant number of gates in use, totalling more than a 70% majority.

Competing airlines are allowed to fly from such an airport, however in reality the hub airline has such a distinct monopoly over resources that circumstances can become anticompetitive. For example, the main airline negotiates contracts with the catering contractor, the baggages handling contractor and is also a major employer within the airport. Therefore this influence can be leveraged to the airline's advantage by influencing decisions which would not usually be within the scope of effective airline control. For example; future expansion and infrastructure developments within the fortress hub.

A case study of such a fortress hub, is Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (code: DTW / KDTW), found in Michigan, Detroit.

In the 1980's several smaller carriers endured mergers and acquisitions, for example Republic Airlines merged with Northwest Orient Airlines, which later became Northwest Airlines.
Fast forward to 2008 and Delta Airlines bought Northwest Airlines to form the largest carrier in the world, employing in the region of 75,000 staff.

These airlines subsequently became part of the SkyTeam alliance and now have a overwhelming presence at Detroit Airport, due to the scale of the combined members; Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and Air France occupying almost every air-side gate. This would have been even more impressive but for fellow SkyTeam member Continental Airlines, also flying from DTW, departing this month to join the competing Star Alliance.

Dusseldorf International Airport – Germany

Dusseldorf International airport last year experienced a record breaking 18.1 million passengers through its modern and clean terminals, which offers truly integrated onward travel.

Most slick of all is the infrastructure link with the airport's own rail terminal: Bahnhof Düsseldorf Flughafen. A significant railway station served by a myriad of German train services, including the sleek and super-fast ICE train.

A boon for plane spotters and aviation enthusiasts is the news that Dusseldorf airport has two observation decks overlooking the runways. Both are far from each other, which offers a different perspective for viewing the aircraft movements, takeoffs and landings. One viewing deck is situated on top of the railway station adjoined to the airport, towards the perimeter threshold. The second is situated on the third floor of the more centrally located Terminal B.

The airport operator (Flughafen Düsseldorf GmbH) also offers airport tours for a fee, and keenly markets the observation decks as a day excursion for family members old and young. It is perhaps a little unnecessary that there exists a small entry fee to the decks. (Which is essentially just standing on a roof!)

Dusseldorf's main interior space is large and airy, with a high ceiling and a fresh, clean atmosphere. The facilities are more than adequate, and well-groomed staff scurry around quietly keeping the place in order.

Serving the various car parks and the three terminals at Dusseldorf International Airport (code: DUS/EDDL) is their SkyTrain - an efficient automated railway suspended in the air, travelling up to speeds of 50 km/h completing all the stops along the 2.5 km route in only five minutes.

Concrete runways comprise the landing surface at Dusseldorf, of the two parallel runways, 05R/23L is the longest at three kilometres.

Narita International Airport – Tokyo, Japan

Only four miles East of Narita itself, this airport (code: NRT / RJAA) takes the strain of serving mainly international departures while the nearby Haneda Airport primarily looks after Japan’s domestic flights.

Narita airport took the name “New Tokyo International Airport” up to 2004 in order to differentiate itself from other Airports also serving Tokyo, such as Haneda.

Incidentally, Greater Tokyo also contains two military air bases; Yokota and (Naval Air Facility) NAF Atsugi, which are home to an American presence in the region.

Cargo is a very important aspect of Narita airport’s activities as it facilitates the profitable trade around Asia, America and Europe, whereby exports account for a staggering $12 billion.

Narita accounts for 70% of Japan’s entire cargo imports and exports by value: Even including maritime ports! Regarding volume of air cargo handled (in tons), Narita International Airport is ranked third in the world after Hong Kong (China) and Incheon (South Korea) respectively. (Source: www.naa.jp)

The future of Narita’s dominance as an international Airport is being challenged with the nearby development in 2009 of a further two competing civil airports; Ibaraki Airport (developed from the Hyakuri Air Base) and Shizuoka Airport (newly constructed).

Beijing Capital International Airport - China

Situated 17 miles North West of Beijing itself, this airport (code: PEK / ZBAA) is an international airport of entry and Beijing’s shining jewel is its massive new passenger Terminal 3.

Fully operational in March 2008, this $3.5 billion development epitomises the word; spaciousness! Attaining a floor space of nearly one million square metres, Beijing’s Terminal 3 is truly amazing. Just to put it in perspective, it is larger than London Heathrow’s Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 put together!

The story of China’s behemoth T3 landmark begun in November 2003 when the contract was awarded to the design team, comprising Foster and Partners (Architects), NACO (a Dutch airport planning company) and Arup (Engineers).

Before the completion of Terminal 3 estimates set future annual passenger numbers through Beijing at 60 million in 2015. But only several years later and already passenger throughput has approached 54 million per annum!


 Photo: Inside Beijing Terminal 3

Not only a hub for future passenger growth, the new Terminal 3 is also a cultural symbol of China’s presence. Thoughtful touches such as coordinated lighting, mean that even when viewed from the air, Terminal 3 emits a powerful red glow; in-keeping with China’s national colours. Certainly, it is a landmark structure.

Despite there only being one cargo terminal here, it is huge and processes about the same tonnage of goods each year as Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport which benefits from four additional runways compared to Beijing.

Amsterdam Airport, Schiphol - The Netherlands

While other European locations like Munich airport function with two runways and desire a third, Amsterdam’s Airport; Schiphol (code: AMS / EHAM) currently enjoys six, with plans for a seventh!

In fact all six runways can be referred to by their approach direction but also identified by a name too. For example, the 3.3 kilometre 18C/36C runway is entitled: “Zwanenburgbaan.” How cute!

The longest being 18R/36L or “Polderbaan,” which is a full 3.8 kilometres in length! All six runways are equipped with ILS (Instrument Landing Systems), and the smallest runway called “Oostbaan” is reserved mainly for general aviation. (Light aircraft and suchlike).

Passenger Numbers at Schiphol

With the global effects of the credit crunch and the economic downturn affecting all sectors not only aviation, it is perhaps surprising at how well Schiphol Airport is maintaining its passenger numbers. Experiencing only a 0.8% drop in passenger numbers from 2007 to 2008.
Source: Schipholgroup.com


A cool fact about AMS is that it's the lowest of the world’s major airports, being around 3.4 metres below sea level in places.

Amsterdam's strength is not as an international hub, but as a European centre, because around 70% of passenger destinations served by Schiphol are to other European destinations. The airport is also home to the Royal Dutch Airlines; KLM.

Where cargo is concerned, Schiphol is a European powerhouse, currently moving the 3rd highest tonnage of cargo in all of Europe. This is facilitated by the massive capacity of the six cargo terminals here, and makes for very busy airspace.

The combination of the 48 million annual passenger trips and 1,610,282 tonnes of cargo seen at Schiphol creates air traffic at Amsterdam which makes for a fantastic array of aircraft for plane spotters to observe.

Dallas Fort Worth International – USA

The enormous capacity of Dallas Fort Worth International gives it an enviable status on the world stage. Its huge land area of 18,076 acres is so big, that the airport footprint passes across three separate neighbouring areas and all three are stakeholders in how the airport is run!

Last year Dallas Fort Worth (code: DFW / KDFW) was the third busiest airport in the world for aircraft movements, thanks in part to the huge cargo activity at DFW Airport. Last year, of all Texas’ cargo, 60% went through Dallas Fort Worth. This includes cargo carriers such as; FedEx Express, Air France Cargo, Air China Cargo, Ameriflight, Cathay Pacific Cargo, UPS Airlines, for example.

As for passenger services, Dallas Fort Worth is a major base for American Airlines and a host of other airlines use this Airport situated in Dallas, Texas, including; American Eagle, United Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, to name the home services.

The website: www.dfwtower.com has some interesting flight information and forum discussions pertaining to DFW Airport. Especially appealing is the live feed they have, which broadcasts radio interactions between Air Traffic Control (ATC) and aircraft using Dallas Fort Worth. The live feed gives an idea of how busy the airport often is.This idea is very inventive and gets top marks from anyone with a penchant for aviation, it is worth a listen!

DFW is quite a sight from the air as the seven, yes that is correct; seven runways serve some 60 million passengers each year, fed through the five on site terminals. As expected in paranoid America, security is tight, slow, and clumsy. But the sheer scale of this place enables almost 700,000 aircraft to take-off and land every year.

Macau International Airport – South China Sea

Opened since 1995, Macau International Airport (code: MFM / VMMC) has become a highly important transport hub for the area, which previously before the construction of the “airport in the sea”, was served mainly by luxury helicopters, and in decades before that, only by seaplanes.

The spectacular runway was built by reclaiming land from the sea. This is a double edged safety benefit and drawback: On one hand should there be an incident the rescue or fire-fighting demands are made that much harder. Also, any bad landing which over-shoots the runway, will result in a damp conclusion! But having sea rather than residential housing near to the runway is preferable, as there is less to crash in to. Such a conclusion is hard to imagine with the excellent safety record of aviation though.

It is reassuring to note that the runway here at MFM is a lengthy 3.2 kilometres in distance, which is comforting when travelling on a larger jet such as a Boeing 747!
In the region of 5 million fellow passengers make the trip through MFM and it's interesting but almost peculiar, to land on an arid-looking patch of man-made land apparently floating in the immense sea previously viewed on final approach!

With the ability of this location to continue flight operations 24 hours a day, (no residents in the sea!) Macau International is now steadily approaching its design capacity of 6 million passengers per annum, and also plays a critical role for freight trade in the area.

Munich Airport - The Best in Europe!

Munich Airport (code: MUC / EDDM) can be found in Southern Germany at the heart of Europe sporting two runways which see around 400,000 aircraft movements each year.

The passenger terminals at Munich are divided in to Terminal 1 (Halls A to F) and Terminal 2 (Halls G & H) which together process a significant 34 million passengers a year.

Munich International Airport has been voted Best Airport in Europe in the 2008 Skytrax World Airport Awards. The awards are based on 8 million surveys worldwide from unbiased passenger opinions, and measures travellers' experiences of 39 airport service topics, such as check-in, transfers, airport cleanliness, signage, shopping, WiFi internet, onward connections, and so on.

Munich Airport (in German; “Flughafen München”) carries the official name “Franz Josef Strauss Airport” in honour of a local-born politician and is Germany’s second busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers after Frankfurt International Airport, which handles some 20 million more passengers than Munich.

Lufthansa has an intense presence at this hub along with other members of the Star Alliance. However it is not considered a “fortress hub” in the sense of majority domination, because other popular airlines operate from Munich including:

  • Aeroflot,
  • Air France,
  • airberlin,
  • Alitalia,
  • British Airways,
  • Czech Airlines,
  • Delta Air Lines,
  • easyJet,
  • Emirates,
  • Etihad Airways,
  • Finnair,
  • Germanwings,
  • Hamburg International,
  • KLM,
  • Korean Air,
  • LTU International,
  • Niki,
  • Royal Jordanian,
  • Tunisair.

Flughafen München GmbH operates the airport and unusually shares part-ownership of Terminal 2 operation with the prevalent airline Lufthansa. The airport operator plans to add a third runway at Munich, but has not received much support from the nearby residents, which is understandable since 500 locals have already been displaced by construction of the initial facility in 1980.

Tegucigalpa - Toncontin International Airport

An exciting introduction to the destination of Honduras, begins with the spectacular approach and landing at Toncontin International Airport, where natural facets combine to present a heart-stopping set of conditions.

Mixing the downhill runway, with a mountainous approach, plus a very short runway, ensures that pilots utilize all their skills to accomplish safe landings at Toncontin International Airport.

The airport is classed as both civil and military, and is operated by the military of Honduras. Toncontin International Airport is renowned as having one of the shortest international runways in the world, which is a single asphalt runway with a distance of 1,863 m (6,112 feet), as this video demonstrates.








“A Boeing 737 cockpit view of the approach and landing into the Tegucigalpa airport located in Honduras. Tegucigalpa (TGU) is considered by many to be one of the world's most dangerous airports due to; the steep approach required; elevation; short, sloping runway and high terrain in very close proximity.”



Located in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, a famous location in Central America, placing it in the time zone of UTC-6.

Amazingly for an international airport, the facilities serve only 4 gates and 2 baggage claim belts. It's quite a wonder how the 364,141 passengers travel through here. Further signs of the lacking status is the absence of any official website.
The code TGU / MHTG represents more in the way of cargo, statistically because an impressive 6,895,267 tonnes of cargo can move through the airport in a year.

Mandelieu Airport - Cannes

Located right on the coast line of the crystal blue Mediterranean sea, it is understandable why the VIPs and film stars sense a ping of excitement as they glide down on final approach towards landing on runway 35 over the calm sea, home to the glitzy spectacle just a few miles along the coast at Cannes.


Not a cargo hub by any means, there are still thirteen hangars offering more than 18,000 m² of space for private pilots and companies wishing to house or park their aircraft here at Cannes Mandelieu Airport which accommodates up to 190 parked aircraft.

The passenger statistics demonstrate how skewed the aircraft to passenger ratio is here: For example in 2003, the passenger numbers of 49,200 were overwhelmed by the individual aircraft movements totalling 71,200 in the same year. This hints at how the popularity of CEQ is finding favour with amateur pilots flying for leisure.

Quirkily, the airport operators offer a free scenery add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator, to replicate the experience of landing at CEQ / LFMD in detail, something which connects with amateur fliers practising by simulation.

Cannes Mandelieu airport has existed in this location since the 1930’s and whilst future development plans are for an expansion in to a business park, no major increase in capacity is likely.

The rules governing this medium sized airport restrict aircraft heavier than 22 tonnes from using this aerodrome. Unlike most larger international gateways like Madrid airport, Cannes Mandelieu airport is closed to aircraft at night. Operations here, run from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset, making it an ideal pairing with VFR pilots.

Cannes Mandelieu Airport is intended to serve the French Riviera as a hub for business and tourism, and is synonymous with the Cannes film festival. Therefore, it is no surprise that travel connections, executive facilities, quality catering, and limousine transfers are well provisioned at this desirable destination close to Nice.

Barajas Madrid International Airport

Madrid International airport has been fast expanding with the operation of its new Terminal 4, since 2006. This modern facility with a wavy roof design and airy feel, practically doubled passenger capacity at Madrid airport.

Barajas International Airport is situated in the city of Madrid, the capital city of Spain.
Identified by the code LEMD and MAD, the facilities comprise four impressive runways, plus an equivalent number of terminals to match. On top of this, Terminal 4 also sports a satellite terminal.

The central location close to the city itself has been developed since 1928, with more recent addition of a further two new runways bringing the current total to four. During daytime activities, aircraft movements run at about one every thirty seconds. From July 2008 the airline Aeroflot will be adding to the collective bustle, soon operating from Terminal 1.

Being in central Europe, the time zone is UTC+1 (+2DT) which is suitable for business interactions, and many companies have head offices here in this important Spanish city.

A massively popular route flying from Madrid links Spain's second largest city; Barcelona. At its peak the route served almost a thousand departures per week, until the popularity was dented by the opening of a competing train service.

In terms of statistics, passenger movements reached 45,501,168 throughout 2006, totalling a staggering 435,018 flights!
Cargo is not neglected here either, with 333,137 tonnes being processed by the airport in 2005, facilitated by the two significant cargo terminals.

Mexico City International Airport - (Benito Juárez)

Mexico City International Airport is the most significant airport not only Mexico but arguably the whole of Latin America. Serving a considerable thirty-five percent of all operations in the country, the airport established itself as a location for Mexican civil aviation since 1928.

The airport also goes by the name of Benito Juárez International Airport and presently serves around 26 million travellers each year.

Terminal one was constructed in 1951, up until that point the airport had been labelled as a military aerodrome from its inception in 1928. Terminal 2 opened in 2007 and became a major base for the Sky Team airline alliance.

Passengers are well catered for here, with three significant hotels connected to Terminal 1 alone, plus a further hotel facility in Terminal 2.

Mexico City Airport is a key hub used by SkyTeam members which comprise major airlines such as Aeroméxico, Delta Air Lines, KLM, Air France and Continental Airlines.

Interestingly, the most popular flight destinations from Mexico City International Airport are not American hubs, but domestic locations. For example; Guadalajara - Jalisco, Cancún - Quintana Roo, and Nuevo León Monterrey, all receiving over 1 million passengers outbound from Benito Juárez International Airport each year.

The Federal Government are planning on improving the airport's facilities and have created a separate site with information regarding this, but already onward travel from the two terminals is offered by connecting metro and bus services.

The IATA code is MEX for Mexico City International Airport, which has a time zone of UTC-6 (-5DT). Like many of a similar size the management operate two runways which saw precisely 378,161 flights in the year enabling considerable movement of goods and travellers. For 2007, the accurate statistics are 25,881,662 passenger movements and 405,536 tonnes of cargo.

Atlantic City International Airport

Atlantic City International is a much unknown airport to the conventional US traveller, used to airports which handle tens of millions of passengers every year, this airport is not one of them. With fairly small passenger numbers, the airport is set for development in future years, but its main focus continues to be a non-civilian home for the following institutions:
  • New Jersey Air National Guard Fighter Wing (177th),
  • US Coast Guard Air Station
  • FAA Tech Center
  • TSA Federal Air Marshal national training center.

Atlantic City International is located in New Jersey, United States of America and carries the airport code (ICAO) KACY. After landing on one of the two runways passengers adjust their watches upon arrival to UTC-5 (-4DT).

The civilian service of this airport is minimal though, with four main non-stop destinations of Boston, Florida, Atlanta, and Toronto. The management market the connections available as covering much of the United States and Central America, however many of these flights are only obtainable through connecting flight hubs.

It is not an experience which is open to a huge number of air travellers, since in 2006 only 916,000 passengers have landed at Atlantic City.

For civilian passengers the main selling points are in fact the small scale of Atlantic City, and the inverse benefits this brings when compared against a higher-status International airport. These predominantly being; smaller crowd numbers, reduced queueing, lower transit times to the gates, and availability of low cost carriers in the absence of premium brand airlines.

Specifically, these airlines flying from Atlantic City International include AirTran, Spirit Airlines, and West Jet.

Future development for the Airport is minimal, but presently the planning of airfield construction projects are underway, with bids for improved aircraft rescue and fire fighting stations, plus a new law enforcement building too.

The official website is: www.sjta.com.
