Al Maktoum International Airport (IATA: DWC, ICAO: OMDW), also known as Dubai World Central,[3] is an international airport in Jebel Ali, 37 kilometres (23 mi) southwest of[2] Dubai, United Arab Emirates, that opened on 27 June 2010.[1] It is the main part of Dubai South, a planned residential, commercial and logistics complex.
When fully completed (originally expected 2027, now in 2030[4]), the airport will contain transport modes, logistics, and value-added services, including manufacturing and assembly, in a single free economic zone.[5][clarification needed] It will cover an area of 14,000 hectares (35,000 acres). The airport has a projected annual capacity of 12 million tonnes (12,000,000 long tons; 13,000,000 short tons) of freight and between 160 million[6] and 260 million passengers.[7] As of 2021[update], only a handful of airlines operated passenger services out of Al Maktoum International Airport with a focus on freight activity.
