Air traffic movement in the U.A.E.'s airspace reached 62,802 last month, reported the Sheikh Zayed Air Navigation Centre.
The U.A.E. General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), said that air traffic movements in the U.A.E. have witnessed a minor decline of 0.6 percent in July, compared with the same period last year. The GCAA said the drop was due to the closure of two runways in Dubai International Airport, for 80 days. The authority's monthly report also indicated a total of 459,389 air traffic movements since the beginning of the year, which represents an overall increase of 2.3 percent compared to the same period of the last year.
Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, GCAA Director General, said that despite the decline in traffic over the past 3 months that were due to runway renovations in Dubai Airport, there has been an overall increase in air traffic movements this year.
"This is a clear indication of the increasing demand for aviation services and increased number of passengers traveling from and to the U.A.E.. We expect this growth to surge higher over the coming months," Al Suwaidi said.
GCAA's July report showed that Dubai had the highest traffic movements with 24,654, and 117,47 over flights were registered, while Abu Dhabi experienced 118,18 air traffic movements.
