Dubai International tracks 8 destinations in this dataset, and unlike most cities covered here, this is a genuinely well-connected regional slice rather than a theoretical long-haul reference list: all 8 routes — 5 short-haul and 3 medium-haul, every one into Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh — carry a verified historical direct-service record.
Dubai's real network reaches roughly 250 destinations across six continents, so an 8-route list looks small at first glance. What it actually reflects is the overlap between Dubai and the other South Asian cities tracked on this site, and that overlap happens to be Emirates and flydubai's dense, genuinely-flown corridor into the Indian subcontinent. Every route here, from the 1,188 km hop to Karachi to the 3,537 km run to Dhaka, is backed by a carrier record, which makes DXB the most completely verified origin city in this batch rather than one leaning on distance-only estimates.
All 8 tracked destinations from Dubai are international and all 8 are verified: Karachi, Islamabad, Mumbai, Lahore and Delhi under 2,200 km, plus Kathmandu, Colombo and Dhaka a bit further out, are all real, currently-relevant corridors on the historical record, mostly with Emirates and flydubai alongside local carriers.

Every one of Dubai's 8 tracked routes carries a verified historical operating record — there's no unverified tier to flag here, which is unusual in this dataset and worth stating plainly rather than glossing over.
OpenFlights' historical route dataset records 5 carriers operating this city pair, flying Airbus A320, Boeing 737, Boeing 737-800 and other types. It's the best-served pair in Dubai's whole tracked network — still confirm current-day operation and schedule in your GDS before quoting, since this dataset reflects historical service, not a live timetable.

No. This dataset tracks only the 8 destinations that overlap with other cities covered on this site. Dubai's actual network reaches roughly 250 destinations worldwide; the 8 here are a real but narrow South Asian slice, not the full picture.
Yes, all 8 — the highest verification rate of any origin city in this dataset, covering Karachi, Islamabad, Mumbai, Lahore, Delhi, Kathmandu, Colombo and Dhaka.
Karachi, at 1,188 km and about 1.4 flight hours, is Dubai's shortest tracked route, verified with Emirates, Fly Dubai, Shaheen Air International and Pakistan International Airlines.
Emirates appears on most of the 8 routes, Fly Dubai on several, and local carriers like Pakistan International Airlines, Air India, IndiGo and SriLankan Airlines fill out the rest, per OpenFlights' historical route records.
Very differently. Adelaide's tracked long-haul routes are mostly unverified distance references with no direct service of its own, while every one of Dubai's 8 tracked routes carries a verified historical operating record. Dubai's slice is small but entirely real, not theoretical.
