Dubai Cargo Village


Once named Dubai Cargo Village and owned by the Dubai Department of Civil Aviation, this facility has undergone a major restructuring since 2008. It has been re-branded as Dubai International Airport Cargo Gateway with the adjacent facilities under construction in Jebel Ali being named Al Maktoum Airport Cargo Gateway. Both cargo gateways are now controlled by Dubai Airports Company.

DCG is considered one of the most technologically advanced cargo handling facilities. In January 2008, DCG completed construction on a "Mega Cargo Terminal" capable of handling an additional 1.2 million tonnes per year. In 2008, DCG handled 1.8 million tons of cargo, and 25,279 cargo aircraft, and ACI ranks DCG as the world's 8th busiest air cargo terminal.

DCG is the Middle East’s first cargo handling facility to be awarded an ISO 9002 certificate by Lloyd's Register of Quality Assurance in 1998.

Over 30 airlines have offices in DCV, while the main airport is host to 124 airlines and provides flights to over 207 destinations, in addition DCG provides direct flights to 20 European cities, 60 cities in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa and has parking for 17 aircraft.

Dubai International Airport Cargo Gateway is strategically located adjacent to Dubai International Airport, in the United Arab Emirates. DCG is roughly 40 km from the adjacent Jebel Ali, where Dubai Airports Company is building Al Maktoum International Airport and Al Maktoum Airport Cargo Gateway.
