Terminal 2
Inaugurated on May 1st 1998 to alleviate congestion at Terminal 1, Terminal 2 caters to scheduled, charter and special interest flights during special occasions.
At present some 50 airlines operate out of this terminal. The capacity of arriving and departing passengers is 1200 peak hours respectively. Expansions and refurbishment during 2007 increased the annual capacity of the terminal to 5 million passengers (from 3 million). Terminal 2 is currently undergoing another major expansion which once complete will double its capacity.
Transfer of transit passengers between Terminal 1, 2 and 3 takes 15-25 minutes.
Terminal 2 is home to Dubai’s budget airline flydubai, which launched operations on June 1, 2009.
