Dubai Airport Sees First Drop In Passenger Numbers In 20 Years.

The airport retained its position as the top global airport serving international passengers, beating second-placed Heathrow Airport by six million passengers, the statement said. Low-cost carrier Flydubai has been one of the biggest customers of the Boeing 737 MAX, which has been grounded since March last year following two crashes that killed 346 people and opened the doors to intense scrutiny of the US manufacturer’s safety practices.Saudi Arabia provided the second largest, with 6.3 million, narrowly ahead of Britain’s 6.2 million.
