The Dubai Mall-Burj Khalifa station has seen strong and steady growth, with passenger numbers crossing 10.5 million in 2024, nearly 58,000 people daily.

To meet this rising demand, the station is undergoing a major upgrade that includes more space, better entrances, improved platforms, and increased fare gates.

The design stays true to the metro’s iconic seashell-inspired look while focusing on safety, smoother passenger flow, and full accessibility for all, including seniors, families, and People of Determination.

The Emirates Group has announced a record-breaking half-year financial performance, posting a profit before tax of AED10.4 billion ($2.8 billion) for the first half of 2024-25, surpassing last year’s results for the same period. This is the first financial year Emirates has applied the UAE's new corporate income tax, bringing its profit after tax to AED9.3 billion ($2.5 billion). Demonstrating operational resilience, the group maintained a robust EBITDA of AED20.4 billion ($5.6 billion), only slightly below last year’s figure, with revenue increasing 5% to AED70.8 billion ($19.3 billion).

This revenue growth reflects strong customer demand across all business divisions and regions. Emirates closed the half-year with a cash position of AED43.7 billion ($11.9 billion), using its reserves to support strategic initiatives, including new aircraft purchases and debt repayments, while distributing AED2 billion in dividends. These results highlight Emirates' financial stability and commitment to growth.
