Dubai – Mubasher: The civil aviation sector will account for 20% of the UAE’s gross domestic product (GDP) and $53.1 billion of Dubai’s GDP by 2020, said Dubai Airports’ Deputy CEO Jamal Al Hai.
The sector will make up 37.5% or $53.1 billion of Dubai’s GDP and 29.5% of jobs in the emirate by 2020, according to a report released by Oxford Economics.
