UAE/Gulf Region World Leader in Mega Aviation Projects!
28 January, 2008

The world leader in airport/aviation Mega Development is by far the UAE/Gulf Region. The Dubai World International Airport at Jebel Ali is a $8.2Billion project. The Abu Dhabi International Airport expansion is at $6.8Billion! The new Doha International Airport in Qatar is $5.5Billion! Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is spending a whopping $11.3Billion to expand and improve their airports.  Others in the Gulf are jumping on board:

- Bahrain International Airport: $815Million

- Kuwait International Airport: $2.1Billion

- Baghdad International Airport: $2Billion

- Queen Alia International Airport, Jordan: $600Million

The Dubai Air Show keeps getting bigger and bigger! The 2007 Show was the biggest ever. According to Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), and Chairman of Dubai Airports:

"The scale of growth in the show over the past two years - which amounts to some 40% in booked floor space, reflects the massive growth the Middle East's aviation industry is experiencing across all segments. Regional carriers are expanding fleets and networks, there is huge investment in the region's aviation infrastructure, the aviation service sector is attracting a considerable influx in FDI, and the training and development of the industry's regional talent pool is moving forward at pace."

At the air show the largest order in civil aviation history was placed by Emirates Airline of Dubai for the following:

- 120 Airbus 350s

- 11 A380s

- 12 Boeing 777-300ERs

- TOTAL COST?? $34.9Billion!! WOW!!!

I think it should now become clear to you that the UAE/Gulf region of the Middle East is the world leader in Aviation Mega Projects and Developments.
