Dubai International Airport (DXB) remained a key player in global cargo logistics in Q1 2025, handling 517,000 tonnes of freight, despite a 3.6% year-on-year decline. This reduction is attributed to global challenges such as changing supply chains and geopolitical tensions. Nonetheless, DXB’s strategic location and robust logistics infrastructure support its role as a preferred hub for perishable and high-value goods. Enhanced operational systems and the significance of air cargo in global trade highlight DXB’s importance in facilitating fast and secure movements, reinforcing its position as a vital logistics gateway.
