Indians form the biggest chunk of flyers at Dubai airport, reinforcing
the image of Emirates being India's de facto national carrier as it is
the single largest international airline here in terms of flying people
in and out of the country.
Dubai Airports has said that Dubai international airport handled 65.8 lakh passengers in November 2016. "India (with almost 9.6 lakh passengers) was the top destination country in terms of total passenger numbers recorded in November. The growth spurred mainly by increase in capacity and launch of new services by Spice Jet, Jet Airways, Air India and other carriers during the year, followed by Saudi Arabia (4.7 lakh), the UK (4.6 lakh), and Pakistan (3 lakh)," it said in a statement.
In 2015, Emirates flew 53.7 lakh people in and out of India — with a majority of them transiting through Dubai — making it the largest foreign airline in terms of passenger volumes here. On a standalone basis, it was at number three in 2015 with Jet and AI flying 70.7 lakh and 56.5 lakh, respectively, in and out of India in 2015. The Mumbai-Dubai and Delhi-Dubai were two of the busiest international routes in India that year, something that is unlikely to have changed in 2016.
