Al Zaffin opens GALF with a call to join in the prosperity bid

Al Zaffin said that aviation sector is expected to contribute over 32 per cent to Dubai’s GDP by 2020, and with the rapid growth taking place in the sector, the emirate is actively implementing its plans to effectively and efficiency handle the growth, while creating economic prosperity for all.
“Dubai is an aviation hub and the busiest airport in the world by international passengers. We are witnessing an unprecedented growth in passenger numbers, to cope up with which Dubai has chalked out a strategy to continue with the growth in aviation and drive Dubai’s economic prosperity. Growth of logistics and aviation is integral to Dubai’s economic strength and in developing Dubai South, we are building an integrated airport city, which will have a significant contribution in the economic growth,” he said.

Dubai South (formerly known as Dubai World Central) is the master planned urban destination of eight districts -the Exhibition District, Aviation District, Logistics District, Commercial District, Golf District, Residential District, Business Park and the Al Maktoum International Airport, which will carry 220 million passengers and 120 million tonnes of cargo annually.
The government is focused on building infrastructure to provide seamless connectivity around the AMIA, he said.
