Dubai Airport woos business class travellers with special boarding

New Delhi: Come early next year, business and first class travellers will be able to board the A380 aircraft direct from special lounges at Dubai Airport.
Dubai Airport is developing a new dedicated concourse ‘A’ within the existing structure. This will be a dedicated one for Airbus 380 and Boeing 777 types of aircraft. This will be used by Emirates and after some time by Australian airline Qantas. This new facility is part of its expansion project at the cost of $ 7.8 billion.
Giving details about the project, Dubai Airport’s Head of Marketing and Corporate Communication Lorne Riley told Business Line, “The new concourse will have 18 out of 20 gates with twin aerobridges. Twin Aerobridges will allow two different entry points to the aircraft, at upper deck for premium passengers and lower deck for economy passengers.” This new facility will enhance the capacity from 60 million to 75 million by first quarter of next year.
