Emirates to delay Maktoum International move

An Emirates Airline spokeswoman has confirmed that it could delay its relocation to Dubai's new Al Maktoum International Airport by up to 10 years, International Freighting Weekly has reported. The carrier is now looking to move to the new facility between 2022 and 2030, instead of between 2018 and 2020 as originally planned, she said. Emirates also denied local reports that it planned to transfer some of its cargo operations from Dubai International Airport to Al Maktoum in June this year when a new 250,000 tonne-capacity facility is due to open.
