Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport (Luas 1,185,000 m²)

Pembangunan Terminal 3 di bandara ini, dimulai pada tahun 2004 dengan perkiraan biaya
sekitar $ 4,55 milyar. Awalnya direncanakan selesai pada tahun 2006, namun baru berhasil
diselesaikan pada tanggal 30 Mei 2008. Terminal ini dioperasionalkan pada 14 Oktober 2008,
dimana Emirates Airline dari Jeddah, Arab Saudi, menjadi penerbangan pertama yang tiba di
terminal baru.

Dubai International airport's $3.5 billion (Dh12.85bn) Concourse Three (C3), a part of the
Terminal 3 complex, will be the world's first Airbus A380-dedicated facility of its size when it
opens its gates at the end of 2012.

The construction on C3 started in early 2008.

The new concourse, technically an extension and continued development of Concourses 1 and
2, is designed for the exclusive use of Emirates airline, and aimed at increasing Dubai
International's total capacity from the current 60 million passengers to 75 million passengers per
annum.

The C3 facility – following the typical shape of Concourse 2 in design with a total built-up area of
528,000 square metres – will feature 20 aircraft contact gates, 18 of which will be dedicated to
A380, in addition to six gates for remote stands.

Anita Mehra, Vice-President, Marketing and Corporate Communications, Dubai Airports,

told Emirates Business: "Dubai Airports will continue to invest in aviation infrastructure to
accommodate growth. Our strategy is to have capacity lead demand, so we never have to
constrain aviation growth and the considerable economic and social benefits it drives."

Even though C3 will be similar to Concourse 2 in terms of appearance, it will have a smaller
footprint, as the new concourse would be 90m wide and 645m long.

It is a fully airside structure connected to the two major public levels of Concourse 2 and
Terminal 3 via an Automated People Mover (APM), in addition to the vehicular and Baggage
Handling System (BHS) utility tunnels.

The C3 is being built partially underground comprising the APM stations (both arriving and
departing), and like C2 the lower and upper levels would be connected by means of a special
vertical transportation system (sky trains) that would act as a focal point feature in a central
atrium, according to Dubai Airports.

While the arrival and departure levels of C3 would be similar to Concourse 2, the first and
business class levels would be further split up and located one above the other, below the hotel
level, which also includes a health club and a business centre. The hotel at C3 would be
designed to feature both four- and five-star operations.

Construction of Emirates-dedicated Terminal 3, meanwhile, began in 2004 with an estimated

cost of around $4.55bn. Originally planned for completion in 2006, the terminal became
operational on October 14, 2008.

The T3 increased the airport's maximum passenger capacity annually by 43 million, bringing the
total annual capacity up to 60 million passengers.
Meanwhile, at the end of June, Dubai Airports will open the first phase of DWC-AMI (Dubai World
Central-Al Maktoum International airport) for cargo operations.

Designed to have a capacity of more than 12 million tonnes of cargo and 160 million passengers
a year, the initial investment into DWC-AMI is rested at $10bn.

And once operational, the new airport would also be capable of handling all new-generation
aircraft such as the Airbus A380 superjumbo, with the airport's first phase being built to
accommodate future traffic expansion with a single A380 compatible runway.

Meanwhile, in a statement released with preparations under way for the Airport Show's 2009
edition, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and
Chairman of Dubai Airports, said: "As regional civil aviations continue to construct brand new
terminals, concourses and runways, and upgrade their existing facilities in preparation for the
next generation of super-jumbos, this pace of modernisation creates outstanding opportunities
for airport suppliers and contractors."

"With billions of dollars earmarked for airport developments across the Middle East, Africa and
the Indian Subcontinent, the region represents one of the fastest-growing aviation markets in the
world today."

Dubai’s Terminal 3, the home of Emirates Airlines, is the world’s single largest
terminal building.
Ensuring the smooth opening of such a large terminal is a major undertaking.
The Arup operational readiness and airport transition team managed every step
of Emirates’ and Dubai Airport’s move, from construction project to fully
operational environment.

Specialist airport technology systems were commissioned and tested, including

check-in, telephone, radio, information databases, flight and baggage displays,
computer rooms and networks, entertainment and retail systems.
Control rooms to monitor and control airport operations were commissioned
and tested with the airport operations staff to build their familiarity with the new
systems and confidence in running live operations.
Arup specialists consulted stakeholders to establish training needs and ensure all
staff were familiar with the operational environment. They monitored
interoperability between systems, identifying and resolving technical issues.
The team managed trials and steered the strategy and sequence for the airport
opening.
The project not only provided an excellent platform for the airline and the
airport’s stakeholders to prepare for opening, but also identified opportunities
for operational improvement and correction.
