Terminal 1

Terminal 1 serves more than 50 international carriers that operate into DXB. Connected to Concourse D through an airport train, Terminal 1 offers the capacity to accommodate more than 20 million passengers annually.

Terminal 1 is undergoing a major phased refurbishment programme to upgrade and modernise the terminal and provide a more welcoming environment for passengers. Works included improvements to the drop-off and pick-up points in front of the terminal, refurbishment of landside arrivals – including new food & beverage and retail outlets – and the modernisation of the existing check-in and departure hall. The immigration area has also undergone major improvements while a new airside arrivals route from the new train station has been reconfigured.
