Dubai Airports plan to open up 3,500 jobs by Autumn 2021 as the international hub anticipates to be back to 90% of its operations prior to COVID-19, according to a top official.
This week, the Dubai Airports will reopen Terminal 1 and a concourse in the wake of rising demand. Both were shut in March 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dubai Airports Chief Executive Officer Paul Griffiths told a TV channel on June 20.
