Department of Civil Aviation: 37 years of remarkable achievements

When you have a leader like Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum keen on following the progress of the airport's expansion project
on a daily basis, progress in itself is not sufficient; what is needed is to take the lead and be at the forefront of the highly-competitive aviation
industry.
