• Despite what you’ve read, Dubai does not have the world’s busiest airport

  The Associated Press, today:

  Dubai International Airport maintained its crown as the world’s busiest airport last year as officials said Wednesday that a record 95.2 million passengers transited through its terminals, part of the emirate’s continued economic boom.

  Reuters, as well:

  Dubai International Airport (DXB), the world’s busiest travel hub, is expected to handle close to 100 million passengers this year, its operator said on Wednesday, building on a record performance in 2025.

  DXB welcomed 95.2 million guests last year, a record for the airport.

  But in 2024, Atlanta hosted 108.1 million passengers, up 3.4 million from the year before. While we don’t yet have their 2025 data, it would take a drop of nearly four times that number for Dubai to accurately claim this title.

• British Airways opens new lounges in Miami and Dubai

  British Airways:

  British Airways is proudly celebrating the launch of its new lounge design concept with the opening of two new lounges on its global network, marking a significant step change in the airline’s premium offering. 

  Working in partnership with global architecture and design firm Gensler, these openings debut the flag carrier’s new design concept that will serve as the vision for future lounge developments. 

  These look inviting. Each lounge has been designed for the city it lives in, which means Art Deco in Miami and “traditional Middle Eastern design” in Dubai. A refreshing change from the design-once, use-everywhere approach BA has taken before.

  Miami travelers will soon have two world-class lounges to choose from.
