During an interview to Khaleej Times, Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, said that the runway refurbishment was purposely timed after the Eid rush and before the summer holidays.
"We chose the time in the calendar very carefully during a period where the traffic numbers are slightly lower than other times of the year."
Clarifying how it's not just about volume and passenger increase, he further added, "It's more about the actual physical state of the runway. In aviation, safety is our primary objective. We must make sure that every part of our entire supply chain of assets is in proper and peak safe condition. That applies for physical assets as well as all the technological processes systems."
