All change at Dubai International
Dubai International airport has introduced a new alphanumeric system across all airport signage and computer support systems.
During a hectic eight-hour period, changes were made to flight information display screens, boarding cards and airport reservation systems and required that more than 1,500 signs be changed.լ Ԭ
Dubai International currently consists of three terminals (Terminals 1, 2 and 3) that are used for passenger drop-off, check-in, immigration and security clearance Рand three concourses (Concourses 1, 2 and 3) that house boarding gates, airline lounges and the majority of duty free retail and food and beverage outlets.լ Ԭ
While the terminals retain their current numbering, all concourses and departure gates have been renamed. Concourse 1, which houses over 100 international airlines, becomes Concourse C with gates numbered C1 to C50.
Concourse 2 becomes Concourse B with gates B1 to B32 and Concourse 3, set to open next year, becomes Concourse A featuring gates A1 to A24.
Meanwhile, National Geographic Channels International has commissioned a 10-part documentary series about the day-to-day working of Dubai International that will be aired in 2013.
With the working title ‘Dubai: Ultimate Airport’, the series will follow the daily operation of the world’s fourth busiest airport for international passenger traffic and will involve staff across Dubai’s aviation community including Emirates airline, dnata, Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Customs, Dubai Immigration, Dubai Police and Dubai Airports.
