The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has revealed that the nation has invested $272bn in airport infrastructure development projects until now, with investments covering projects across the country and a fleet of 884 commercial aircrafts.

Commenting on the growth in the aviation sector, the director-general of the GCAA, Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, said: “I believe there is a need to inject more money in order to keep pace with massive and successive developments in the sector.”
