Dubai International Airport (DXB) has started its winter season on a strong note, with seven international carriers launching operations to nine destinations between October and November.
The addition of new services and increased frequencies are set to boost total weekly flights up to 4,400 (one-way), marking a 20 per cent surge from the previous winter season.
