The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) will make efforts to attract investments from global aviation companies at the forthcoming ‘Airport Show’ in Dubai to further enhance the industry’s growth in the region, its top official said.
Mohammed Abdulla Lengawi, Director-General of DCAA, said this year’s airport exhibition in Dubai holds unique significance as it aligns with the announcement made by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, of the new passenger terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport.
“This project, set to be the largest in the world and costing AED128 billion, will commence construction immediately, he said, adding that “this pivotal development is expected to invigorate the exhibition, shaping a global direction for industry advancement and unlocking new opportunities for the future.”

Abdulla Lengawi also said DCAA has completed its preparations to participate in the 23rd edition of the Airport Show, slated to be held from 14th to 16th May at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
He said the Authority aims to bolster the emirate’s aviation sector by participating in the world’s largest annual airport industry exhibition.
Taking place under the patronage of Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, the event serves as a prime platform for engaging effectively with stakeholders, interacting with experts and key decision-makers, and addressing inquiries pertinent to activities within Dubai.
The participation of the DCAA in the Airport Show exhibition will provide a vital platform for interacting with international and regional stakeholders.
