While the A380 aircraft is in Dubai, the Civil Aviation Authority of Dubai (DCA), which develops and manage Dubai International Airport, will engage in series of tests with Airbus technical personnel to ensure that the airport modifications and enhancements being developed for the A380 aircraft adequately meet its needs.

This includes modifying Gate F13 to accommodate A380 operations, and the airport taxiways and runways that have also be modified to meet international safety requirements for the new large aircraft.

"Dubai International Airport was the first airport in the world to install the CAT 10 safety systems in the year 2004, and that made it all set to welcome the A380 this year." Said Mohammed Ahli, Director Operations - DCA

Mr. Khalifa Al Zaffin, Director Engineering Project - DCA. Commented on this exciting event by:

" The arrival of the A380 aircraft today shows that Dubai International Airport is ready to handle A380 flights, which we have been planning for since the late 1990's. It also provides DCA with an early opportunity to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of Dubai International Airport infrastructure, equipment and operating procedures."
