By David Kaminski-Morrow

Dubai's new Al-Maktoum International Airport is to open in three months' time, although it will initially handle only freight operations.

Al-Maktoum Airport is scheduled to open for cargo flights on 27 June, says operator Dubai Airports. No fixed date has been given for the first passenger services at the new hub.
