Divisional Senior Vice President of Emirates Airlines, Adnan Kazim, gestures towards the new terminal dedicated for A380 aircraft at the concourse in Dubai International Airport, January 7, 2013. With the opening of a huge new airport terminal in Dubai this week, the wealthy emirate's economic future became more closely intertwined with the world's biggest passenger jet. Emirates, Dubai's state-owned flagship airline, began flying from the world's first airport terminal that was purpose-built to handle Airbus A380 superjumbos. The 528,000 square metre terminal cost over $3 billion to build and has 20 gates with double-decker bridges to move passengers on and off the twin-deck A380s. Picture taken January 7, 2013.
