Dubai South is where the riches of Dubai would enrich the lives of people here more lavishly. Dubai Expo City, Emaar South, Al Maktoum International Airport together constitute the Dubai South Region. Just know this Dubai World Central Free-zone is known as Dubai South.
Dubai in UAE is to have the world’s biggest Airport, which will be 5 times bigger than its already big present airport (Dubai International Airport). When a city has the blessing of housing the biggest airport in the whole world, can anyone doubt its advantages over any other cities ever?
Anyone with the slightest understanding of how an airport can impact the surrounding region and the city already has the answer.
The road connectivity and its maintenance is always excellently taken care of in and around an airport. Delays and blockages on ways reaching the airport location are dealt with promptly and perfectly.
Airport recruits lots of talents, professionals and laborers for filling up arrays of diverse designations and do different types of jobs for keeping the airport activities smooth. Inside an airport you will find arrays of different types of retail outlets, eateries and other specialised service providers catering to the passengers and the staff members of different airlines operating.
According to research, airports can generate 2,000 to 4,000 jobs in various roles for every million passengers, from air traffic controllers, pilots, cabin crew to ground staff members, security personnel, administrative staff members, maintenance teams, customer service personnel and retail workers.
The economic impact of airports extends beyond creating different types of jobs within their premises and immediate boundaries. Passengers travelling by air look for accommodation choices, restaurants, eateries of different budgets, hotels, pubs/bars, and sightseeing options nearby. People connecting flights with long hours of rest in between mostly need the services of local businesses like hourly stay services, vehicle rental agencies, and taxi services besides food and drinks.
Thus, local businesses significantly grow and expand from an airport’s presence, resulting in better economic growth in turn and leading to business opportunities and more job scopes in these sectors.
International air passengers and airport employees might (mostly) look for hotels, childcare and healthcare units, office spaces, retail outlets, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs/bars, eateries, car rentals and other services nearby. For catering to their requirements, these establishments need to be set up. It leads to more urbanization and modernization of the area surrounding the airport. It leads to infrastructural growth and development.
The growth of infrastructure in turn leads to the development of real estate and construction sectors further. Real estate developers, construction workers, architects, engineers, project managers, and related professionals all benefit from this boost. It, undoubtedly, drives the economy of the state/city to abundance of prosperity with more positive contributions.
Major international airports witness thousands of footfalls everyday and more. Most International passengers have connecting flights as not every distance is covered non-stop in a single flight. Some in-between periods can stretch over 12 hours. Also, many tourists and business travellers look for accomodation choices nearby the airport for short-term stay. It leads to more demand for commercial (hotels, homestays) and residential properties (those who wish to stay and own a property here).
It leads to more popularity of apartments, villas, townhouses and mansions near airports. Ease of traveling is undoubtedly there, but the modernization and easy availability of amenities around make property buyers and investors look for properties near airports.
