UAE's ADAC showcases diverse aviation and aerospace assets at Paris Air Show
Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) is exhibiting at the Paris Air Show, Le Bourget, where it will be holding talks, signing agreements and making a number of important announcements throughout the week, the company said in a press release.
The biannual event runs from 15-21 June 2009, and brings together the world's leading organisations in the aviation and aerospace industry.
ADAC holds a number of diverse aviation and aerospace assets in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, including five airports, the burgeoning Al Ain Aerospace cluster, and the Abu Dhabi Airport Business '&' Logistics Park, which together will be attracting the attention of the global industry in which it operates at the show.
The Al Ain Aerospace Cluster will be holding a ceremony and a press conference on the first day of the show announcing a landmark twinship agreement with the bavAIRia Aerospace Cluster, to develop a major aerospace centre in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
ADAC will also be showcasing the facilities and services offered to investors interested in the Abu Dhabi Airport Business '&' Logistics Park. The 12 square kilometre park is situated adjacent to Abu Dhabi International Airport, the UAE Capital's primary airport, and it is a key initiative in the plan to diversify private sector investments in Abu Dhabi and generate non-aeronautical revenues.
ADAC's Airline Marketing Division will be holding a number of meetings at the event to further promote the world-class facilities and services on offer at ADAC's five airports. Abu Dhabi International Airport has undergone significant development and expansion, with a new second CAT IIIB runway, a new luxurious terminal building catering exclusively for the UAE's national carrier Etihad Airways, and significant refurbishments and facelifts of the other two terminals.
This development has greatly increased capacity of the airport and allows ADAC to meet the high levels of demand that has led to five new airlines establishing Abu Dhabi routes already this year, bringing the total number of airlines operating out of Abu Dhabi International Airport to 45.
In this regard, H.E. Khalifa Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Chairman of ADAC, stated: "Paris Air Show is one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the international aviation industry's calendar. ADAC is very proud to be showcasing our strong portfolio of assets, and we look forward to making a number of significant announcements here at the show".
"ADAC's strategic policy and expansion projects provide a key component of the wider strategy for the development and diversification of the economy in Abu Dhabi, as outlined in Plan Abu Dhabi 2030. With the development of the emirate as an important destination for international commerce, investment and tourism, we have experienced a tremendous increase in demand for connectivity. ADAC is committed to serving this demand through the provision of award-winning services and facilities, and through extending our full support and assistance to partners establishing their businesses in Abu Dhabi".
Abu Dhabi is the capital and the largest Emirate in the UAE, both by land mass and population, with 1.9 million residents and a forecasted population growth of more than 7 per cent every year until 2012. A total of $255 billion will be spent on investments in major developments in the Emirate in the next five years.
Abu Dhabi's per capita income is the fourth largest in the world at $49,700, and it produces 90 per cent of the UAE's oil, and owns 10 per cent of all known oil supply in the world. It is also a gas rich nation, with almost 10 per cent of all known gas supply.
Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 is the strategic plan for the development of Abu Dhabi created to deliver the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi. The plan outlines controlled sustainable development of the city and the diversification of the Emirate's economy.
