Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 18 October 2024: Dubai International (DXB), the world's leading international airport, made history today by transforming its iconic runway into a high-energy cycling studio in collaboration with CRANK, creating an unparalleled fitness experience against the thrilling backdrop of aircraft taking off and landing.
