UAE airports handled 102.9 million passengers in the first eight months of 2025. That is a 5.3% increase from the same period last year. The rise underscores the continued strength and global competitiveness of the country’s aviation sector, and signifies a period of sustained growth.
With airports across the country continuing to expand and enhance capacity, the UAE remains one of the world’s leading aviation hubs, driven by strategic investment, innovation, and operational excellence.
The sector’s ongoing momentum reflects the nation’s commitment to maintaining its role as a key player in global connectivity and air transport development.
