yes it matters, they are building the largest airport in the world, but designed mostly for shipping, such as FedEx out of Memphis. Dubai could take over as a HUGE trade power.\Al Maktoum International Airport, planned as the world's largest passenger and cargo hub, ten times larger than Dubai International Airport and Dubai Cargo Village combined.
If completed as planned, the airport will have an annual cargo capacity of 12 million tons, more than three times that of Memphis International Airport, today's largest cargo hub, and a passenger capacity of more than 120 million - almost 30% more than Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, currently the world's busiest passenger airport.
Looks alot like the ATL airport except with 6 RUNWAYS!!!!
