Passenger traffic through Dubai's main airport, one of the world's busiest, rose 13.7 percent from a year earlier to 6.16 million people in April, the airport operator said on Tuesday. During the first four months of 2014, traffic at Dubai International Airport climbed 11.9 percent to 24.52 million passengers. Freight volume handled by the airport rose 3.7 percent in April to 207,317 tonnes; in the first four months, volume grew 4.6 percent to 821,193 tonnes.
However, activity is expected to taper off between May and July, Dubai Airports said, because of construction work on Dubai International's runways. The airport plans to cut flights by 26 percent for an 80-day period that started on May 1, the operator announced earlier.
