Zayed International Airport achieved a significant leap, ranking 23rd globally, up 24 places from the 2025 ranking. This reflects the rapid development of service levels and passenger experience at the airport, especially after the opening of the new terminal (Terminal A), designed to accommodate 45 million passengers annually, alongside the adoption of advanced 'smart' travel technologies. Meanwhile, Dubai International Airport topped the list of best airports in the Arab world and ranked 13th globally in the 2026 Skytrax rankings, surpassing several major international airports, including Vienna, London Heathrow, and Amsterdam Schiphol. This achievement reflects the strength of infrastructure and service efficiency in the UAE's aviation sector.
