Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is located in Dubai South, near Jebel Ali, and is set to become the largest airport in the world once fully completed. It currently serves cargo operations, private jets, and select commercial flights, with future expansion planned to handle over 260 million passengers annually.
DWC is designed to support Dubai’s long-term growth in aviation, logistics, and tourism. It spans 56 square kilometers and is part of the larger Dubai South master plan, which includes residential, business, and logistics zones. The airport is positioned close to the Jebel Ali Port, enabling integrated air-sea freight movement.
DWC is expected to become a major hub for Emirates and other carriers in the coming years, relieving pressure from Dubai International Airport (DXB) and driving development in surrounding areas. It features modern infrastructure, large runways, and scalable terminals to accommodate future demand.
Sobha Elwood is approximately 25 to 30 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport by car, offering residents proximity to Dubai’s next-generation global aviation gateway.
