Dubai, UAE – Dubai International Airport (DXB) has once again secured the top spot in the Airports Council International’s (ACI) 2024 Air Connectivity Ranking for the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region.
Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, hailed the recognition as a testament to the airport’s strategic importance in global aviation. “Connectivity is the cornerstone of relevance in global aviation, and we are pleased to see Dubai International (DXB) recognised once again as the region’s leading hub,” he said.
Griffiths highlighted that DXB’s strength lies not only in the scale of its operations but also in the reliability and quality of its services. “What sets DXB apart is not only the scale of our network, but the consistency and quality of the connections the airport provides.”
Currently, DXB offers flights to more than 265 destinations across six continents, playing a vital role in supporting global trade, tourism, and economic development.
“But connectivity at this level only matters if it is delivered with precision,” Griffiths noted. “Our strength lies in combining reach with efficiency, ensuring fast, seamless and secure journeys for tens of millions of guests each year.”
He added that the recognition reflects the collective efforts behind the airport’s success. “This recognition reflects the oneDXB spirit – a shared commitment of our airline partners, the broader airport community and the city of Dubai. Together, we are shaping a model of airport connectivity that is agile, guest-focused and economically significant, not just for the region but for the world.
