Less than 55 years ago, Dubai International Airport was a vast desert of sand. But today, it is a modern mecca of international air travel. With 344, 000 flights, 57 million passengers and 2 million tons of cargo flying in and out each year, it is the world’s third busiest airport for international passengers. National Geographic Channel go behind-the-scenes of Dubai International’s three massive terminals, including Terminal 3 – the largest building on earth by floor space, measuring 359 football pitches in size! With unprecedented access to all facets of this mega facility, the series follows some of the 60, 000 staff working hard to keep it safe, secure, and on schedule. From Air Traffic Control handling emergency landings, customs intercepting suspected drug smugglers and engineers taking apart multi-million dollar jets to dealing with late flights and angry passengers, cargo headaches and even the construction of brand new USD$3.2 billion dollar terminal, NGC provides a 360-degree view of this “ultimate airport.”Less than 55 ye ars ago, D ubai Internatio nal Airpor t was a vast desert of sand.
