Shell Aviation signs fuel concession agreement for Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport
Deal marks Middle East expansion and supply entry to what is planned to be the world's largest airportThe agreement was signed by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports and Richard Jory, Regional General Manager, Shell Aviation, Middle East, South and Central Asia, and Africa, on behalf of Shell Markets (Middle East) Limited. It will enable Shell Aviation to operate as one of the suppliers of fuel and refuelling services to airlines at Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International, thus contributing to Dubai's future growth aspirations.
Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International is targeted to become the world's largest airport in terms of volume and size upon completion, occupying an area of 140 square kilometres with a capacity of 160 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of cargo per year. Phase one of the airport, which opened for cargo operations on June 27, 2010, features a single A380 compatible runway, a passenger terminal with a capacity of 5 million passengers per year and a cargo terminal building with a capacity of 250,000 tonnes per year.
This new agreement for Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International will see Shell Aviation grow its presence in the UAE while also expanding its international airport network in line with Shell Downstream's selective growth strategy. It follows other strategic entries this year at London City Airport in the United Kingdom and Roskilde Airport in Denmark. Shell-MRPL, Shell's marketing joint venture with Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited in India, has also expanded its aviation fuel supply network this year from two airports (Bangalore and Hyderabad) to six airports in total with the addition of Jaipur, Ahmdebad, Chennai and Calicatt.
