The milestone underscores the UAE’s essential role as a global aviation hub with a strategic
location, advanced infrastructure and efficient operational systems.

“Achieving the milestone of one million air traffic movements in a single year is not a mere
numerical achievement but a reflection of the UAE’s steadfast commitment to developing the
aviation sector as a cornerstone of its national economy and solidifying its position as a global air
transport destination,” said Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and chairman of GCAA.

In line with the “We the UAE 2031” vision and “The Year of Sustainability”, the center also adopted
sustainable practices that support the country’s objectives and contribute to reducing the aviation

sector’s environmental footprint. Additionally, it enhanced airspace capacity to meet increasing
demands while ensuring the highest safety and reliability standards, further strengthening global
airlines’ confidence in the UAE’s services.
