When Paul Griffiths arrived in the UAE in 2007, he took a bold leap from his role as MD of Gatwick Airport. Since then, he has led the remarkable transformation of Dubai Airports — guiding its rise from just over 34 million passengers a year to one of the world’s busiest international hubs.
In conversation with journalist Rosanna Lockwood, Griffiths reflects on the records broken and world firsts achieved under his leadership, and shares his vision for the future of aviation in Dubai and beyond.
