Dubai: The Dubai International Airport will become the second busiest international airport in the world by November.

According to a new study by the Centre of Asia Pacific Aviation (Capa), Dubai International — currently the world’s fourth busiest international airport — will occupy the number two slot from November 2011 in terms of passenger numbers, with London Heathrow at the top, going by the aviation body’s forward (winter) schedule.

Dubai airport’s jump would leapfrog Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Capa said in its report, adding that Dubai had recently overtaken Frankfurt International Airport.

The jump does not come as a surprise going by the latest passenger numbers for July released by Dubai Airports, the body that owns and manages Dubai’s two airports — Dubai International and Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International.

WOW! Great job!
