Dubai Airports at the Aviation Club

PAUL GRIFFITHS, CEO of Dubai Airports, was a very articulate and well received visitor to the London-based Aviation Club of the United Kingdom last week.  Paul is well known in the UK following successful stints with Virgin Atlantic, where he was a member of the Executive Board, and as Managing Director of Gatwick Airport.  Appointed to his present role in September 2007 his essential task is to oversee the opening of new Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), due to start cargo operations later this month, and passenger services in late 2011.  It is 25 miles south east of the existing Dubai Airport and has a Metro link under construction.  Dubai moved 40m passengers in 2009 of which 65% were connecting. www.dubaiairport.com
