Dubai World Central (DWC) Phased Masterplan Advisory
Advisory support for the 260 mppa DWC expansion roadmap.
NACO provided masterplanning and phased-capacity advisory inputs to Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) on the Al Maktoum/DWC long-range roadmap, which in April 2024 was confirmed to expand toward 260 mppa with five parallel runways and concourse grids larger than any existing airport. NACO's contributions focus on airside geometry, phased terminal nodes, and passenger processing throughput envelopes.
