Emirates Group and Dubai Airports have released an economic impact study reaffirming aviation’s role as a major engine propelling Dubai’s economy. In 2023, aviation added AED 137 billion (USD $37.3 billion) to Dubai’s economy, equivalent to 27% of GDP. It supports 631,000 jobs and is forecasted to add another 185,000 jobs by 2030, with contributions set to rise to more than a third of Dubai’s GDP. Aviation’s far-reaching catalytic impact on other industries drives a spectrum of economic activity, supporting Dubai’s Economic Agenda (D33), boosting its global competitiveness and placing it at the forefront for trade and tourism.
