Mubasher: The Dubai Taxi Corporation announced a discount in taxi flag down rate for all passengers arriving through Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC).
The rate will be reduced by 75% over 45 days from 16 April to 30 May, according to a recent press release by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA)’s Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC).
This announced discount coincides with the renovation of the Southern runway of Dubai International (DXB) Airport, which will be closed for 45 days for a full upgrade of the runway.
Accordingly, part of the flights will be diverted to Al Maktoum International Airport, the press release added.
CEO of Dubai Taxi Corporation Yousef Mohammed Al Ali commented, “During this period, passengers’ traffic at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is expected to rise by as much as 700%.”
He added, “We have also introduced a shared taxi service at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC); which will reduce the fare for arriving passengers. As such, it is now possible for more than one rider to share a taxi from Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) to multiple destinations. The step will ease the mobility of passengers, reduce the waiting time and save expenses.”
