Emirates A380 terminal operational. 5 weeks after its official opening, the Emirates A380 Terminal at Dubai airport is operational, and big enough to accept the 75 million annual passengers expected by 2015. Let’s take a look… Welcome to Dubai International Airport, the first airport in the world with an A380 dedicated terminal. Concourse A, with its 20 gates specially designed to connect, simultaneously, to the two levels of the super-jumbo is now operational. For Emirates, which last year carried over 34 million passengers, and still awaiting the other 59 examples of the 90 super-jumbo’s ordered, the terminal, is an absolute necessity. "The interest of this new terminal, is its capacity to simultaneously process 20 Airbus A380’s at the same time. So, it’s a terminal that is really designed for high volumes of boarding and disembarkation of the clientele as smoothly as possible, and therefore corresponds to the real operational needs required by this aircraft." The First and Business Class lounges of the company, which extend over 29,000 m2 ( 312,153 ft2 ), and the largest in the world, are also open. They offer direct access to the boarding gates, up-market restaurants, conference rooms, business centres, and even a spa to relax in while you’re waiting to leave. With this new concourse composed of 11 floors, the airport will increase its capacity to 75 million passengers per year, as against the 60 million now. The numbers are already there. Since its inauguration on January 2, Concourse A, alone, welcomed some 590,000 passengers in just one month.
