Dubai Airports oversees the management of Dubai International and the upcoming Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central.

Dubai’s Strategic Plan for 2015 lays specific emphasis on travel and tourism, trade, and transportation and logistics, among others, as highly conducive sectors for future economic growth. Dubai’s investments in these sectors are in line with this greater plan. The value of investments in Dubai’s tourism, hospitality, leisure, entertainment, and real estate projects, over the next five to seven years is estimated to be around US$ 365 billion.

As a result of these developments the number of visitors to Dubai as well as the city’s resident population will rise dramatically over the next few years. The rapid economic growth of the UAE, coupled with the emergence of Dubai as the busiest business and leisure hub of the region calls for a radical expansion of its aviation infrastructure. Thus Dubai Airports’ plans for the aviation, logistics and aerospace sectors are very much grounded in realistic projections and well within our capabilities.
