ABU DHABI, 5th October, 2024 (WAM) – The UAE's aviation sector today celebrated the “UAE Civil Aviation
Day”, which falls on 5th October each year, marking the anniversary of the first airplane landing in the UAE,
specifically in the Emirate of Sharjah, on the same day in 1932. The runway for the airplane landing was
prepared in the Al Qasimia area of Sharjah in 1930, making it the first airport established in the Arabian Gulf
region at that time.
