Dubai promised and delivered: Shaikh Mohammed
"Dubai promised and delivered", said Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai while touring the Dubai World Central- Al Maktoum International Airport .Shaikh Mohammed first toured the passenger terminal of the airport and then inspected the departures and arrival sections and then moved towards the control tower.
Later on an Emirates Airlines' cargo plane arrived at the airport and Shaikh Mohammed spent some time inside the plane. He then moved towards the cargo terminal of the airport which perhaps concluded his tour at the airport.
Al Maktoum International , Dubai's second international air hub, is designed to be the world's largest airport when it is fully completed. It will have five runways, four terminal buildings and capacity for 160 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo.
Dubai has joined an elite group of two-airport cities when first commercial cargo flight landed on Dubai World Central's Al Maktoum International Airport . Three air freight companies Rus Aviation, Skyline and Aerospace Consortium have begun operations from the new airport with 12 others due to follow in days to come.
