Introduction
The Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) is a Dubai based entity that has
been given the responsibility to proceed with the construction of the Al Maktoum
International Airport in a number of different phases. The first phase will involve
construction of the airport terminal and two parallel runways. The airport will be able to
handle 65 million passengers per year after the first phase is complete. The government
has allotted a budget of $32bn for the project.
This report is based on a detailed project plan for the initial phase of the Al
Maktoum International Airport.
1. Executive Summary
The proposed airport is supposed to be constructed and then expanded in a
number of phases. The initial plan involves the construction of two parallel runways that
will be able to hold large aircrafts like Airbus and also will be able to support the arrival
and departure of more than 100 flights per day. This particular project will allow UAE
government to operate more international flights and allow the economic growth of the
country.
2. Project Definition
2.1 Objectives
The objectives of the project are listed as follows.
To build a new international airport in Dubai, UAE.
To install ultramodern facilities in the airport
To provide services to around 65 million passengers annually
To provide the passengers with various international flights from a single
airport

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2.2 Vision
The main vision behind the project is to provide ultramodern airport facilities to
the passengers and also provide non-stop international flights at a continuous basis.
Moreover, currently, there is only a single airport in Dubai i.e. the Dubai International
Airport and with the increasing number of international flights, the pressure on the
airport has increased significantly. Hence, the new airport will reduce the load on the
Dubai International Airport and will also allow the airlines companies to add more
international non-stop flights to the existing roster. Furthermore, with a capacity of 65
million passengers annually, the new airport will also aid in the economic growth of the
country.
2.3 Scope
The scope of the project mainly includes the construction of Al Maktoum
International Airport at Dubai South, Dubai. The first expansion phase will include the
construction of two parallel runways each 4.5 km long and two satellite concourses of
385,000 square meters. The initial target of the airport is to have sufficient capacity for
65 million passengers annually. In addition, the scope of the project also includes 200
wide body aircraft stands with 100 each for code E and code F aircrafts. Furthermore,
the scope also includes the construction of 6 new train tracks connecting the terminals
and the concourses.
2.4 Deliverables
The main deliverables of the project are as follows.
 A complete airport system
 An ultramodern airport terminal with modern facilities for passengers
 Two parallel runways each 4.5 Km long
 Modern aircraft hangars
