We haven't heard the last of the man who fixed Dubai - The National

So farewell then, Aidan Birkett. The former chief restructuring officer of Dubai World recently went through the final formalities of selling his car, settling his bills and cancelling his UAE residence visa, before heading back to the UK last Thursday.

Having parted company with Dubai World last October, after he pronounced "job done" on the US$24.9 billion (Dh91.46bn) restructuring of the conglomerate's debts, Mr Birkett was obliged by UK tax rules to spend a few extra months in the emirate.

He used that time to see a bit more of the wider region, including a trip up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, but is now back in his home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and able to reflect on his time with Dubai World.
