Flights to destinations in the Middle East and Africa will also depart from Terminal 3 in the later stage of the first phase.

The full transition of operations to Emirates Terminal 3 will be carried out in four phases.

Closely coordinated between Dubai Airports and Emirates, the phased opening of the terminal is aimed at bringing the facility online gradually to ensure customers' convenience.
