Show Notes

30 Dec 2025. Dubai Airport has just handled its busiest Christmas on record, and now all eyes are on the New Year rush. We break down the numbers and how DXB is preparing for peak travel. Plus, continuing our NYE-nomics: how much do fireworks and drone shows really cost, and can Dubai’s transport system cope with demand on the biggest night of the year? We ask Zed. And with the population growing fast, Etihad Credit Bureau reveals what it means for credit scores and financial resilience in the UAE.
