Dubai World Central (DWC) , the colossal 140 square kilometre ‘aviation community’ being built in Jebel Ali, was in the news last week as it formed part of the newly created Dubai City of Aviation, alongside Dubai Airports and Dubai Air Traffic Navigation, following a governmental decree.

The vast airport at the heart of DWC, formerly known as the Jebel Ali International Airport, or simply JXB, was also re-named the Al Maktoum International Airport for good measure.

But DWC is promising even more ’major announcements’ in the upcoming days as the Dubai Air Show kicks off tomorrow. The previous headlines will take some beating one would have thought.

DWC certainly has a sizeable presence at the show with its stand occupying some 5,000 square feet as it looks to parade its various zones such as DWC Logistics City and DWC Commercial City.

It is also worth remembering that when the biennial air show next comes round again in 2009, it will actually be located in DWC at Dubai Exhibition World - a site twice the size of the current location at Airport Expo.
