Dubai World Central
Dubai World Central (DWC) is one of the strategic initiatives of the government of Dubai, and strongly positions the emirate as a leading international trade center and a global fast-cycle logistics hub.
The Dubai World Central aerotropolis comprises the new Al Maktoum International airport, set to be the world’s largest in volume and size upon completion, and the adjacent specialized free zones focused on fast-cycle logistics and aviation industries.
Dubai World Central is one of the most ambitious projects of its kind in the world, occupying an area of 140 square kilometers in Jebel Ali, next to the UAE’s largest free zones (JAFZA) and the Jebel Ali Sea Port, the sixth largest container terminal in the world. In addition to the dedicated link to Jebel Ali Sea Port, DWC's unique multimodal capabilities are supported by links to all main motorways in the country, the upcoming GCC high speed rail network and the Al Maktoum International Airport, which once complete will handle up to 120 million passengers and 12 million tons of air cargo per year. The airport will also serve as the main gateway to aviation and logistics companies that have already chosen DWC as their base for fast-cycle logistics.
Phase 1 of DWC is fully completed and operational. This includes the first stage of DWC Al Maktoum International Airport Cargo, with a capacity to serve 5 million passengers and handle over 600,000 tons of cargo annually.
