Al Maktoum Airport (DWC) at a Glance
Al Maktoum International Airport, code DWC, is Dubai's second airport, located in Dubai South. It is best known as a major cargo hub and also handles selected passenger flights. It is a separate airport from Dubai International (DXB), so before you book any transfer, check the airport code on your ticket: DWC means Al Maktoum, DXB means Dubai International.
Airlines and schedules change, so your booking confirmation is the most reliable source for your arrival airport, and the Dubai Airports official website lists current passenger operations.
Before you book your pickup
Check the three-letter airport code on your flight confirmation:
DWC and DXB are different arrival airports.

Fixed fare agreed in advance, a chauffeur waiting at arrivals, flight tracking, and a direct drive to your door.

RTA Public Bus
The F55 connects the airport with Expo Metro Station; the N55 connects with Ibn Battuta. A Nol card is required. Check RTA for the latest timetable, especially for late-night travel.

Landing Late at Night or Early in the Morning?
Flights can land in the middle of the night or in the early hours. Public transport runs less often at those times, so a pre-booked chauffeur is the more dependable way to reach your hotel or home. We track your flight, so your chauffeur is at arrivals when you land — even if you are early or delayed.
