Dubai Airports seeks to boost UAE national staff
Dubai, Sept 10, 2008 (WAM) - Dubai Airports said on Tuesday it has completed the first phase of a restructuring initiative to support its expansion of facilities that will help transform Dubai into the world's top aviation hub.
The operator of Dubai's airport facilities said it intends to boost the number of UAE national employees as it expands its workforce according to a report published in ‘Gulf News.’
The company now employs about 3,800 people and "aims to increase employment opportunities for UAE nationals."
It will launch a development programme specifically for UAE nationals to ensure they develop their skills and knowledge.
"Currently, 43 per cent of Dubai Airports staff are UAE nationals and that number is set to increase to meet the future needs of the organisation, both at Dubai
International Airport and at Al Maktoum International," a company statement said.
Dubai Airports is implementing a multi-billion dollar expansion of Dubai International Airport and the construction of Dubai World Central's Al Maktoum International, which will become the world's largest airport.
Dedicated to the operation of Emirates airline, the new Terminal 3 at Dubai International will cement a partnership which befits the fastest-growing airline in the world.
"The restructuring is a strategic step in achieving our goals," said Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman of Dubai Airports.
"I understand very well that times of change are unsettling, but I am confident that all Dubai Airports staff are loyal to the organisation and committed to making a success of the changes necessary to accomplish the vision, not only for the development of the company, but to fulfil the essential part that Dubai Airports plays in the strategic development of Dubai," he said.
Dubai Airports said the first part of the restructuring programme is substantially complete, with the transformation of the company into a more transparent and flatter organisation.
A team of professionals with world-class experience gained in the commissioning and operation of some of the world's most significant airport developments such as Beijing, New York and Toronto have been contracted to work with the Dubai Airports team to ensure the new facilities are amongst the best in the world.
