This morning saw Dubai Airports release its new traffic forecasts for 2010, predicting a healthy increase of 13.6% in international passengers. The figures, which cover both the Dubai world Central Al Maktou International and Dubai International Airports, show that total passenger traffic will exceed 40 million by the end of 2009, and will top 46 million in 2010.
