Dubai – Mubasher: Dubai achieved a record number of flights received through its Dubai airports reaching 1,300 flights per day, according to CNBC Arabia.
The emirate seeks to be one of the densest aviation destinations; however, the sector suffers many challenges, mainly due to falling oil prices, which affected the companies’ profits and reduced their investments in the sector.
Dubai will host the fifth tournament of the World Aviation Safety Summit (WASS) in the period between 11 and 12 April.
