Dubai: Dubai World Central International (JXB), the airport part of the huge logistics and transportation hub being developed in the Jebel Ali area, has started wooing airlines.

JXB will be developed to become the world's largest airport with the combined size of London's Heathrow and Chicago's O'Hare airports.

The airport will be promoted to airlines at Routes, an industry forum being held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from September 17 to 19.

The Dubai World Central project is being developed under Dubai's Department of Civil Aviation.

JXB's first runway is due for completion early next year.
