The Future Of The UAE’s Aviation Industry Looks Brighter Than Ever – Entrepreneur

In recent months, European airports have experienced various interferences ranging from scheduling to immigration delays. The new year's travel spike saw Europe's busiest airport, Heathrow, deal with a UK Border Force strike that caused vast disruption in its passport control. Similarly, Ireland's Dublin airport has seen both a shortage of staff as well as drone activity contribute to widespread flight delays.

Things could not be more different for the Middle East's travel sector. Dubai International Airport saw its passenger capacity reach 7.3 million passengers in March 2023, which is closest to the 7.8 million passengers it saw in January 2020, prior to the onset of the COVID-19 crisis.

But how did Dubai's travel and aviation sectors manage to get itself back on track so quickly post-pandemic? The answer lies in Dubai's prospering aviation industry, combined with its role as a global travel hub.
