UAE sets historic record with over 1 million air movements in 2024

According to Amac News: Based on a statement issued by the GCAA today, this achievement shows the fundamental role of the UAE as a global aviation hub.
Crossing the threshold of one million air traffic movements in a year is indicative of the continuous efforts of GCAA and Sheikh Zayed Air Navigation Center to provide air navigation services that meet the expectations of global airlines and improve the air travel experience.
The Minister of Economy of the UAE and the head of the GCAA said that crossing the threshold of one million air movements in one year shows the UAE's commitment to developing the aviation sector as one of the pillars of the national economy.
On December 22, 2024, the one millionth annual air traffic movement was recorded with the arrival of Emirates Flight 305 from Shanghai.
In 2024, the Sheikh Zayed Air Navigation Center also saw improvements such as integrating advanced systems and adopting innovative solutions to improve airspace efficiency and reduce delays.
