Dubai's new airport delayed until mid-2010

Dubai's new airport has been delayed for a year, opening in mid-2010 rather than the middle of this year, according to a top Dubai Airports executive.

The hold up for Al Maktoum International has been caused by the lack of a license from the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), which is required to start operations, according to UAE daily Emirates Business.

Paul Griffiths, chief executive of Dubai Airports said: "We were hoping to receive our license from GCAA sometime this year. But it has got delayed and we do not see it happening now until mid-2010.”
