RIYADH: The UAE’s civil aviation sector posted robust growth in the first half of
2025, with passenger traffic climbing 5 percent to 75.4 million, up from 71.7
million a year earlier, according to the Emirates News Agency or WAM.
January was the busiest month, handling more than 13.7 million travelers across
the nation’s airports.
The surge in passenger and cargo activity reflects a broader global rebound in
aviation, as Middle Eastern carriers leverage their strategic location to capture
long-ha ul transit traffic between Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
