This airport is primarily a cargo and logistics airport. There are flights from St. Petersburg and other locations. Aeroflot, Rossiya, Ural and other airlines. The airport is not as crowded and busy as DXB (the main airport for Dubai). There are not many shops and restaurants, but it is much faster to go through immigration and baggage claim. Use the automatic gate for immigration if possible. It is a 25min taxi from the airport to Expo2020 metro station. There is also a shuttle bus This airport is a long way from downtown Dubai, but the metro is convenient. I would prefer to use this smaller and quieter airport than DXB

Small airport for Russiand some arabic flights. Passing passport control can take more than 1,5 hours if several flights landed and you can’t leverage smart gates. No tubes, only bus transfers to and from the plane. Otherwise small and fast airport

Thanks to the staff of Almaktoum airport, at the check-in desk of the flight to Moscow of Pobeda Airlines, who on 21.01.2025 helped to arrange the departure of the flight attendant of the airline Pobeda and her mother. Especially thanks to the employee who said "don't worry" and the employee girl, unfortunately the names were not remembered.
