Two UAE national employees have been appointed to Dubai Airports’ executive team, strengthening the leadership to better manage an increasingly complex operation across two airports.
                         
Majed Al Joker has been appointed as senior vice president (VP) operations, Dubai World Central (DWC), while Adil Al Fahim will take up the position of Senior Vice President, finance and procurement.
 
Al Joker, previously VP terminal operations at Dubai Airports, will play a key role in defining the customer experience at Al Maktoum International Airport at DWC. Planning is well under way on the second phase of DWC which will not only become the world’s biggest airport but will redefine the passenger experience by putting the customer at the core of its design.

Al Joker’s experience and understanding of passenger expectations will be vital in delivering an experience that makes travel simple and convenient. At the same time he will also manage a fast-growing operation at DWC, a Dubai Airports statement said.
 
In his new role, Al Fahim will have oversight and management of all Dubai Airports’ finance and procurement functions, the vital backbone that will support the organisation during its continued rapid expansion and growth over the next few years.

Al Fahim has been with Dubai Airports since 2006 and was responsible for introducing improved financial processes and controls at Dubai Airports. He currently leads a critical change programme that will further integrate the finance, procurement and business processes across the organisation, providing the support structure to efficiently manage the expanded business.  
 
“Dubai Airports will soon embark on a journey to completely redefine the airport experience for passengers and set the industry standard for service with the development of the new phase of DWC. At the same time Dubai International remains a vital global hub. These are huge undertakings. Majed’s and Adil’s vast experience in their respective fields will play a crucial role in helping Dubai Airports meet these challenges and position us as the world’s leading airport operator,” said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports. - TradeArabia News Service
