Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths has revealed that some airport staff may need to delay their retirement to support the significant transition of operations to Al Maktoum International Airport. This shift requires more personnel than currently available at a single airport to successfully oversee both Dubai International and Al Maktoum airports simultaneously.
The primary goal of this decision is to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted service during the transition period. By extending the careers of existing experienced employees, Dubai Airports aims to maintain a strong and knowledgeable workforce across both facilities.
Key Points about the Transition
- Al Maktoum International Airport will become one of the world’s largest airports once fully operational.
- The move aligns with Dubai’s vision to enhance its status as a global aviation hub.
- Passenger numbers and cargo capacity are expected to rise significantly after the transition.
- Retaining skilled staff is critical to overcoming operational challenges during this time.
Dubai is investing heavily in its aviation infrastructure, reflecting a strong commitment to seamless travel experiences. The CEO’s announcement underscores the importance of managing the complex changeover effectively, ensuring both airports function efficiently as the shift progresses.
