UK Government Backs Dubai's Mega-Project Amid Global Aviation Boom
The UK government has expressed interest in investing up to $3.5 billion in Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport expansion, a $35 billion project that will increase the airport’s capacity to 260 million passengers. The airport, currently under development, will feature five runways and is expected to become operational in the early 2030s. UK Export Finance is seeking to secure British companies’ involvement in the project. The initiative reflects the UK’s long-standing partnership with Dubai and its commitment to global aviation development. This is reported by AeroTime.
