RJ shifts to Concourse D at Dubai airport

DUBAI, February 25, 2016

Royal Jordanian (RJ) airline has moved its operations at the Dubai International Airport from Concourse C to the new Concourse D.

RJ and British Airways were the first airlines to start using the new terminal on February 24. The remaining carriers will phase moving their operations over the next several weeks.

With an area of 65,000 sq m, Concourse D will become home to more than 100 airlines that currently occupy Concourse C.

The RJ passengers will benefit from linking the Concourse D to the newly renovated Terminal 1 by an airport train that will run every two and a half minutes between Concourse D and Terminal 1, and can transport 300 passengers per trip.

The new concourse features a total of nine lounges, including five airline lounges, a new Al Majlis lounge, two Dubai International Hotel lounges and a Marhaba VIP lounge. Passengers can also enjoy the offerings of several food and beverage outlets.

Dubai Duty Free has a total of 175 vendor installations in Concourse D, spread over an area of 7,000 sq m.

Paul Griffiths, chief executive of Dubai Airports, forecast 2016 passenger traffic at 85 million with the addition of the new concourse.

RJ currently operates three daily flights to Dubai.  - TradeArabia News Service
