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.
Over 90 years later, the UAE's civil aviation sector leads numerous global competitiveness indicators,
surpassing many developed nations. The country boasts six national carriers renowned for luxury, quality,
security, and safety. During the first eight months of this year, our national carriers operated 4,807 weekly
flights to numerous destinations around the world.
