The world’s airports welcomed more than 7.6 billion arriving and departing passengers in 2016 (Airports Council International). That’s more trips than the population of the globe itself.
As often the “first face” of a country, airports can delight, frustrate or even make or break a trip. With bold architecture, tech innovation, enhanced security and amenities galore, today’s airports are becoming more than places where people catch flights.
On this month’s episode of Business Traveller, CNN International looks at three of the world’s biggest gateways: Charles de Gaulle, Dubai International and Miami International. CNN’s Richard Quest takes you inside their transformations as they push to stand-out as gateways to the world.
