Also, DWC’s “40&beyond” campaign was inaugurated by His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. It celebrates the UAE’s 40^th founding anniversary and depicting the visionary foresight of the founding fathers of the country.

The 40&beyond tribute wall also shows the strategic importance of DWC as the logical extension of the progress that Dubai has achieved over the past 40 years, while exemplifying the investment initiatives undertaken by Dubai to sustain the emirate’s prosperity and sustainable socio-economic growth.

DWC is a purpose-built airport city that covers an area of 140 square kilometres. In addition to the Al Maktoum International Airport, which is being developed to be one of the world’s largest in volume and size, Logistics District and Office Park, DWC will also include residential, commercial and leisure districts upon completion.

“Dubai World Central reinforces Dubai’s strategic advantage as an economic hub and a gateway to dynamic markets in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and across Asia. It serves as a one-stop destination for investors and businesses that are looking to benefit from a purpose-built aviation and logistics infrastructure, in addition to a complete range of business facilities. Moreover, DWC demonstrates the ingenuity and foresight of Dubai by presenting a fresh concept in urban planning that integrates services, aviation, residential and commercial amenities within a self-sustaining micro-city,” Dubai Aviation City Corp executive chairman Khalifa Al Zaffin said.

“The Airshow certainly serves as an ideal platform to demonstrate the unique features of DWC as the event is recognised as the region’s premier aerospace event gathering more than 50,000 international trade visitors and hundreds of exhibitors from all over the world,” Dubai Aviation City Corp chief operating officer Rashed Buqara’a said.

DWC is one of the most important and strategic projects launched by the Government of Dubai. It has been developed to meet the future needs of Dubai’s aviation, tourism, trade and logistics services and will ultimately be home to over 900,000 residents.
