It should be noted that London isn't the most pleasant place to visit during the winter months, but Dubai's passenger numbers represent a 13.5 percent increase over last year. This is on top of a 15.2 percent growth from 2012 to 2013. Sustained growth throughout the year would certainly give Dubai the full-year title for the first time.
Does that figure represent passengers transiting OMDB or passing through immigration, or a combination of both?
