Al Maktoum welcomes foreign cargo flights
Dubai joined an elite group of two-airport cities yesterday when Dubai Airports officially opened Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International (DWC) for cargo operations, welcoming inaugural flights operated by Rus Aviation, Skyline and Aerospace Consortium."Phase 1 is the first step in a long infrastructure development project that over time will see our new airport transformed into the world's largest global gateway and a multi-modal logistics hub that plays an increasingly integral role in the ongoing economic and social development of Dubai," said Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman of Dubai Airports . "It is a proud day for Dubai and an auspicious occasion for the future of global aviation."
Phase 1 of the airport features one A380-capable runway, 64 remote stands, one cargo terminal with annual capacity for 2,50,000 tonnes of cargo and a passenger terminal building designed to accommodate five million passengers per year.
The site has been handed over to the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, and the total cost of these initial works was Dh25 million.
NOC needed
The RTA has called upon contractors to comply with rules set for work permits within Railway Right-of-Way, as well as the technical stipulations for the Red Zone (five metres off the edge of rail facilities) and the Yellow Zone (30 metres off the edge of rail facilities).
