Not exactly true

Hartsfield Jackson continues to be the world’s busiest airport.

Atlanta is #1. LAX is #4. I believe that. LAX is always busy even on a Christmas afternoon.

100% of the flights at Dubai are international - that’s what the article is pointing out. Atlanta is largely domestic - though it feels like 105 million people are there on any given Friday afternoon. :)

I’ve flown through Dubai dozens of times, although not in last 10 years. It’s main terminal is much nicer than Atlanta, and I suppose the new Emirates terminal is even nicer than what I remember. I avoided the often LONG lines at passport control with an electronic visa — swipe the card and the first gate opens, then your fingerprint is scanned and the second gate opens. The headline emphasizing INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS is probably true. The Sharjah airport isn’t as nice but sometimes had iris scanning.

UAE is quite interesting. Each Emirate has its own government. Dubai led the way, but Abu Dhabi may be more elegant now. Only about 10% of the population are UAE citizens. There nearly 100 shopping malls, with some amazingly exotic. One reason that they may be blessed is that they’ve allowed — even welcomed — international churches to meet in a rather large designated compound area that has multiple buildings. I also attended a totally normal international Christian gathering at a Marriott hotel.
