Located on Abu Dhabi Island, the airport also hosts aviation assets belonging to the UAE government. Originally opened in 1970 as Abu Dhabi International Airport (not to be confused with the current Zayed International Airport, which was also once known as Abu Dhabi International Airport), it replaced the city’s former airport.

Dubai International Airport is the primary gateway for Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. It ranks as the world's busiest airport by international passenger traffic and is also the largest airport in the Middle East. Globally, it is the second busiest by total passenger volume and the leading airport for Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 operations.

Located 2.54 nautical miles east of Dubai's city center in the Al Garhoud district, the airport is home to Emirates Airline and low-cost carrier FlyDubai.

!!! Tip
Dubai International is one of the busiest globally and the most active in the Middle East. Due to the high volume of traffic during peak hours and the airport's operational complexity, **it is essential that you prepare thoroughly**, as any professional crew would. Be sure to review this brief and the corresponding charts carefully.

**If you are new to the VATSIM Network**, we strongly recommend avoiding this airport until you have gained more experience flying on the network. During peak times, controllers are often too busy to offer additional assistance. Instead, consider flying to other airports within the Arabian vACC, where the traffic is lighter and procedures are less complex, allowing for a more accommodating experience.

!!! Warning
The latest airport layout is reflected in MSFS, X-Plane, and the freeware Prepar3D sceneries. However, the payware Prepar3D scenery from FlyTampa features the 2012 airport layout, which lacks Concourse D and some taxiways/rapid-exits. Pilots using the FlyTampa scenery must inform the controller of this on initial contact.

If you're unsure, don’t hesitate to ask for the frequency again!

## Departing Traffic
### Flight Planning: Route(s)
Pilots can find valid routes for most flights departing from Dubai on SimBrief by choosing the "Preferred Route" option. Our operations department updates the "Preferred Route" on SimBrief with every AIRAC cycle, ensuring compliance with Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) regulations in the Middle East and Eurocontrol IFPS validation.

<figcaption>Figure 1-2: Simbrief Preferred Route</figcaption>
</figure>

### Flight Planning: Standard Instrument Departure (SID)
Controllers will assign a Standard Instrument Departure (SID) based on the first waypoint in your flight plan, guiding you out of the Dubai Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA). Refer to the table below to see which SID you can expect. If your waypoint isn't listed in the table, ensure your AIRAC cycle is up to date. If your AIRAC is outdated, please inform the controller promptly so we can arrange an omnidirectional departure for you.

| Waypoint | 12L/R | 30L/R |
|----------|:-------:|:-------:|
| ANVIX | 5G | 7F |
| DAVMO | 4G | 4F |
| EMERU | 2G | 2F |
| IVURO | 1G | 1F |
| KUTLI | 4G | 4F |
| MIROT | 3G | 3F |
| NABIX | 3G | 3F |
| RIDAP | 3G | 2F |
| SENPA | 3G | 2F |

!!! Note
Please be aware that the departures listed above apply to both the left and right runways. At Dubai International, there are no runway-specific SIDs, so your clearance will not include a designated runway. You can determine your departure runway by checking the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS).

### Getting your clearance
Departing aircraft shall contact Dubai Delivery **10 minutes prior to start-up** and pass the following information:
<ul>
<li>Aircraft Callsign</li>
<li>Aircraft Type</li>
<li>Parking Stand</li>
<li>Requested Flight Level</li>
<li>Destination</li>
<li>Standard Instrument Departure (and departure speed if unable to comply with SID minimum speed restrictions)</li>
<li>Aircraft routing via M318 to report crossing level for GABKO if below FL150</li>
</ul>

Al Maktoum International Airport, also known as Dubai World Central, is an international airport located in Jebel Ali, 20 nautical miles southwest of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Opened on 27 June 2010, it serves as the centerpiece of Dubai South, a planned area for residential, commercial, and logistics development.

Upon full completion (initially planned for 2027, now anticipated by 2030), the airport will integrate multiple transportation modes, logistics, and value-added services, such as manufacturing and assembly, within a single free economic zone. Al Maktoum International primarily supported freight operations, with limited passenger services offered by a few airlines.
