Mazrouei named Abu Dhabi Airports chief
ABU DHABI, April 5, 2015
Abu Dhabi Airports has appointed board member Mohamed Mubarak Al Mazrouei as chief executive, it said on Sunday, replacing Tony Douglas who joined Britain's defence ministry (MoD).
Al Mazrouei, who also sits on the board of Abu Dhabi Ports Company, had previously served in the UAE armed forces, the airport operator and manager said in a statement.
He will be responsible for overseeing a multi-billion dollar redevelopment and expansion project. The Midfield Terminal Building project aims to boost Abu Dhabi International Airport's annual capacity to over 40 million passengers.
