By Muin Abdul Majid

DUBAI, April 13 (Bernama) -- Dubai Airports has won the Newsweek Award of
Excellence, achieving the accolade 'The Single Largest Development in Aviation
History in the Region'.

It was chosen for the award by senior correspondents and writers of the
Newsweek (Arabic) editorial board.

Dubai Airports chief executive officer Paul Griffiths said the growth and
development of Dubai city and Dubai Airports were closely inter-linked.

"As the city has grown, Dubai Airports has seen an increase in the number of
its client airlines and their passengers, bringing more business, industry and
professional expertise to enhance Dubai's business acumen and standing in the
world community," he said in remarks made available here.

Dubai Airports owns and manages the operation and development of both of
Dubai's airports, namely Dubai International as well as the upcoming Dubai World
Central-Al Maktoum International.

The Arabic edition of the English-language Newsweek International magazine
is printed in Kuwait and circulated among the Gulf Cooperation Council states,
with a total weekly circulation of around 112,000.
