The runway, designated 12/30 because of its geographic location, will undergo strenuous tests and trials over the next six to eight months to fulfil its CAT III-C requirements.
Dubai World Central is expected to make announcements about the new airport’s heliport and executive jet facilities at the Dubai Air Show later this month.
