**Dubai Airports Wins Operational Excellence Award at Passenger Terminal Expo 2025**
Dubai Airports, the operator of Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International (DWC), has been honoured with the Operational Excellence Award by AirportLabs at the Passenger Terminal Expo 2025. The recognition marks a decade of innovative collaboration between Dubai Airports and AirportLabs, focusing on future-ready operations and continuous improvement.
Over the past ten years, Dubai Airports' technologies have been co-developed to meet its unique operational needs, elevating efficiency, resilience, and passenger service.

These initiatives have led to fully launched projects such as autonomous systems for inventory validation and AI-enabled aircraft turnaround analysis.
Another significant development is the ongoing expansion project at Al Maktoum International Airport, which will make it a major hub for Emirates Airline, accommodating over 240 million passengers annually. While specific technological innovations within this project are not detailed, it underscores Dubai's commitment to state-of-the-art infrastructure.
