"Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air was the first airline to be welcomed at the new passenger terminal, and was greeted with a customary festive water salute." You can't make this stuff up.

Seriously, congrats Dubai.

Dubai's new Terminal 3 IS truly Awesome! It makes all others redundant by definition!
Emirates are to be congratulated on their vision.

This CNN article is truly misleading. The new airport is nothing more than a small terminal building in the middle of nowhere...no concourses and not a single gate. Considering expansion at Dubai International Airport is only recently completed with an exclusive A380 concourse, it will be a long time before the new airport amounts to anything. The article would be more accurate if it were written in 2027 at build out.
