Dubai Airport Delays Passenger Target as Iran War Crimps Growth

Dubai International Airport said it will need another year to reach a landmark passenger target as the war in Iran crimps demand at the world’s biggest international aviation hub.

“We were projecting to get to break that golden 100 million passenger mark this year, I think that may be relegated to 2027 and we are still confident of doing that,” Dubai Airports Chief Executive Officer Paul Griffiths said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
