Dubai is the world’s airport and a meeting place for humanity, says Sheikh Mohammed

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, affirmed that Dubai has today become the world’s airport, a meeting place for humanity, and a link between the continents and civilizations of the world while reviewing the plans for the bigger and new Al Maktoum International Airport.
Sheikh Mohammed said, “We received a group of leaders from the Emirates Airlines Group.
Establishing an airline company in Dubai was a dream more than 4 decades ago. Some people bet against it, and many tried to distract us from it.
Today, the dream includes 112,000, connects us with 277 cities, transports more than 50 million passengers annually, and generates revenues exceeding Dhs137 billion annually.
The dream has not stopped… We are still dreaming of expanding the business… and opening a larger international airport… and reaching every city on the five continents…
Today, Dubai is the world’s airport… a meeting place for humanity… and a link between the continents and civilizations of the world.
The lesson: If you have determination and will, do not allow anyone to stand between you and your dreams, because what you can imagine, you can achieve.”
