ENOC Aviation has been participating in Dubai Airshow since the inception of the Middle East’s primary aerospace event. This year, the company will specifically underline its growing global and regional partnerships, particularly with the opening of the passenger terminal of Al Maktoum International Airport, as Dubai International Airports are set to welcome record passenger traffic.

Over the years, we have continuously enhanced our partnerships with global carriers and airports. We are committed to the highest standards of quality and operational excellence, which we will underline at the premier event.” 

Farid Al Bastaki, Sr. Manager, Aviation Fuel Marketing, added: “The aviation sector of the region is witnessing phenomenal growth with massive investments in aircraft and new airport infrastructure. Through our central location in Dubai, which is one of the world’s fastest growing aviation hubs, we can serve the fuel requirements of all leading airlines. The Dubai Airshow provides us the ideal opportunity to network with industry stakeholders from across the world.”
