Dubai airport remains world’s busiest amid security squabble with Israeli airlines

Dubai’s main airport says it has retained its top place as the world’s busiest for international travel with around 29 million passengers shuttling through the global gateway last year.

Flights from Israel to the United Arab Emirates hub are currently under threat due to disagreements over security arrangements at the airport.

Israeli airlines may soon halt flights to Dubai due to the conflict, which would also lead Israel to limit other flights to the city.
