Dubai Airports and JCDecaux SA (Euronext Paris: DEC) announced this week that JCDecaux Dicon has been awarded the exclusive advertising contract for Concourse 3 in Dubai International, extending its partnership with Dubai Airports to 2020.

Eugene Barry, SVP Commercial of Dubai Airports, told us “By 2020, our passenger numbers will reach 98.5 million, and Concourse 3 is a fundamental part of our expansion plan to accommodate this tremendous traffic growth. Along with boosting our capacity, it will also elevate our airport’s service levels.
