GCAA grants approval following procedural review
Dubai Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport has officially opened for general aviation operations, Dubai Airports said in a statement yesterday.
The General Civil Aviation Authority ( GCAA ) granted regulatory approval following a review of safety, security and standard operational procedures at the Jebel Ali airport.
Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports , said: “This is a significant development for Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International , which we foresee as developing into a major regional hub for general aviation in the years to come. Our new airport is an increasingly appealing option for general aviation companies in the region, particularly as air traffic volumes increase at Dubai International Airport”.
Al Futtaim Services Company, in a joint venture with European jet operator DC Aviation, will provide a range of general aviation services at the airport including business jet charters, aircraft maintenance and aircraft management.
Al Futtaim, the first client at Aviation City, operates a fleet of aircraft including Airbus A319 Corporate Jets and Bombardier Global Express.
