Majed Al Joker, Chief Operating Officer of Dubai Airports, said the ATC tower is one of the airport’s most important landmarks where thousands of operational decisions are made each day to ensure safe and efficient aircraft movements.
He noted that incorporating the UAE flag into the tower reflects the country’s ambition while recognising the teams and partners who keep DXB operating as one of the world’s busiest international airports.
