Dicembre +8.5% i pax e +5.9% i movimenti.
Finale 2015: 78M e +10.7% per i pax e +14.1% per i movimenti.
E' confermato il piccolo calo della quota di EK, visto che quest'ultima è cresciuta del 9%.

FlyDubai nei prossimi anni si sposterà a DWC, mossa che libererà molti slot a beneficio di EK.
DWC a hard sell even with flydubai shift: analysts
Last week, flydubai confirmed it is moving over to DWC

DUBAI: Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central (DWC) will continue to be a tough sell for operator Dubai Airports even with the recent news that flydubai is planning a move over, analysts say.
DWC has attracted just one major foreign carrier, Qatar Airways, since passenger flights started in October 2013 with Bahrain’s Gulf Air, Kuwait’s Jazeera Airways and Europe’s Wizz Air.
And at least two airlines, Germany’s Eurowings and Saudi Arabia’s flynas, have said they would fly to the airport to only change their mind and fly to the emirate’s premier airport, Dubai International, instead.
But last week, flydubai confirmed what has been widely believed for the past 18 or so months. It will move all of its operations from the Dubai International over to DWC.
“We’re slowly moving flydubai to that side,” Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates airline and Group and Chairman of flydubai, said on Wednesday.
It is unclear when exactly flydubai will move all of its flights to the new airport, though, Dubai Airports Chief Executive Paul Griffiths told Gulf News on Monday the majority of the airline’s operations will be there by 2020.
This would be a substantial increase in operations for the airport, which handled just 209,989 passengers in the first-half of 2015 compared to the 38.29 million at Dubai International, according to the Dubai Airports website.
Flydubai carried 7.25 million passengers in 2014, about the current capacity of DWC, which is to be expanded in phases to ultimately be able to handle 240 million passengers a year.
Dubai Airports have said they are expanding capacity to 26 million passengers a year to be completed by 2018, which is believed to be when flydubai will start shifting its operations.
But flydubai moving over is hardly going to be enough for full-service carriers at Dubai International to follow suit, Will Horton, senior analyst at CAPA — Centre for Aviation, told Gulf News by email.
“DWC has two main challenges: operational constraints and market perception. Operationally, DWC’s current facility is a functional terminal suitable for some LCCs (low cost carriers),” he said.
Flydubai already flies 70 times week from DWC and moving its operations will give it a monopoly on traffic, Addison Schonland, founder and partner at AirInsight, told Gulf News by email. DWC is roughly 65 kilometres by road from Dubai International.
But other airlines, who rely on feeding from connecting traffic at Dubai International, are likely to wait for Emirates, the largest carrier at Dubai International, to make a decision, he added.
Emirates, which carried 25.7 million passengers in the six months to September 30, 2015, has said it won’t be shifting until at least 2025, when capacity is to be 120 million passengers a year.
Carriers will also be mindful of where their passengers want to fly to and from.
“Airlines may find their catchment area will be closer to DXB (Dubai International) for some time to come,” Horton said.
DWC is at the heart of a planned major business and residential development, including the Expo 2020 site, but at least for now the bulk of activity in the emirate is closer to Dubai International.
But John Strickland, Director of JLS Consulting, believes the flydubai shift “will be a clear promotional message from flydubai.”
“[It] will bring some scale and credibility to DWC,” he told Gulf News by email.

Si era parlato già qualche anno fa dello spostamento di Flydubai a DWC ma poi non se ne fece nulla, vediamo se è la volta buona. Il problema è che col cambio di aeroporto non potrebbero piu' garantire le connessioni con Emirates
Per rapportarci ad un paragone italico, come posizione geografica DXB sta a LIN come DWC sta a MXP. Ragione per la quale spontaneamente quasi nessuno vuole andare nell'aeroporto periferico. Solo che a DXB la possibilità di aumentare i movimenti è agli sgoccioli, per cui a Dubai saranno costretti ad aumentare i voli di EK sacrificando FlyDubai a DWC.
Si parlava anche di una deportazione forzata di tutte le altre compagnie aeree al DWC, lasciando DXB in eclusiva a EK. Ma ovviamente le altre si sono opposte duramente.
Aggiungerei che LIN fa schifo come aeroporto, mentre DXB è di ben altro livello (anche se troppo affollato), per cui a maggior ragione non ha senso lasciare DXB per DWC, salvo forzature dell'Emiro di Dubai che costringano tutte le non-EK a spostarsi.
Gia' farsi un remoto oggi significa farsi bei 20/30 minuti di cobus... per me resta da vedere se la zona di Jabel Ali si sviluppera' mai e se Dubai citta' continuera' a espandersi ai ritmi degli ultimi 10 anni, cosa secondo me veramente difficile.
Sono stato a DWC circa un anno fa con wizzair e la fine per una Low cost non mi sembra affatto male. Quindi fly Dubai ci sta bene.
Il vero unico problema dell'aeroporto secondo me è non essere collegato alla metro. Se risolveremo questo problema ci sono alcuni quartieri di Dubai che sarebbero anche più vicini
Hai presente che servizio offre flydubai? Vera business class, wifi a bordo, PTV su tutti i posti anche in Y, ecc. i prezzi saranno competitivi, non la chiamerei affatto low cost.
Hai ragione ma penso che DWC con qualche accorgimento possa essere un buon aereoporto per flydubai. La struttura è ottima ed è sbagliato paragonarlo a Malpensa, dubai è una città distribuita su 50 km di mare e praticamente i due aereoporti sono costruiti ai due margini di quella striscia.
Se la città continuerà ad espandersi sicuramente lo potrà fare dalla parte di DWC.
Allungando la metropolitana fino a quest'aereoporto potrebbe essere un'ottima opzione.
La butto la ma non è che qualche Low cost europea (partendo dalla wizzair) con l'arrivo dei nuovi a321 neo o 737max si possa spingere fini a DWC. Il traffico p2p secondo me comincia ad esserci
