DUBAI International airport attracted more passengers than Paris Charles de Gaulle and Frankfurt last year as Gulf carriers bleed long-haul transfer traffic away from Europe's leading hubs.
Customer numbers at the airport - home base of Emirates, the biggest airline by international traffic - increased to 66.4 million from 57.7 million a year earlier. The 15 per cent gain took Dubai past European No 2 Charles de Gaulle, which attracted 62 million passengers, and the No 3 Frankfurt, with 58 million.
