Concourse C became a part of the Terminal 3 complex used exclusively by Dubai\u2019s flagship carrier Emirates and its partner Qantas, following the opening of the US$ 1.2 billion Concourse D in February earlier this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">The upgrade project which commenced in the third quarter this year and is expected to be completed by the end of 2018, is part of Dubai\u2019s Airports\u2019 DXB Plus programme under which the operator aims to increase DXB\u2019s capacity to 118 million passengers per year by 2023 without building any additional major infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">DXB Plus will boost throughput and enhance service through the design and implementation of customer-centric processes and the application of smart technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">Concourse C will also undergo interior refurbishment as part of the upgrade project, including the re-design and enhancement of gate hold rooms, increase of dedicated airline lounge space, and ambiance enhancements to improve the overall customer experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">Commenting on the project Bryan Thompson, senior vice president of development at Dubai Airports said: \u201cConsidering the traffic growth at Dubai International and the central role the airport will continue to play for the aviation sector as well as Dubai\u2019s economy over the next ten years, it is vital that we provide additional capacity while enhancing our customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\">\u201cWe believe this first project under DXB Plus will deliver on both fronts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;
