What’s driving the surge in flights and seat capacity at Dubai’s airports this winter?

As peak winter travel kicks in, Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC) have rolled out their biggest-ever combined network, with airlines adding new routes, restoring high-capacity aircraft and increasing frequencies — from Virgin Atlantic’s larger A350 deployment and British Airways’ return of the A380, to new links from Central Asia, Europe, Iran and Pakistan — while traffic from Saudi Arabia alone now makes up 7.8 per cent of total passengers and continues to grow strongly, especially at DWC, which is fast emerging as a key hub for regional and European travel. Do you think this expanded network will ease peak-season travel pressure, or are delays and crowding still inevitable during winter rush?
