The New York Festival's World's Best Television and Films, a highly regarded and respected authority in the industry, recently announced this year's winners. The documentary on Dubai's civil aviation, Flying a Dream, bagged the Gold World Medal in the category of Society and Social Issues.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), Chairman of Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, congratulated the staff and management of the DCAA for the achievement. He said the international recognition of the documentary film reflects the hard work and dedication of each and every professional in making the aviation industry in Dubai "a grand success story”.
The documentary highlights the role and contribution of key players of the aviation industry over the past 75 years.
Commissioned and supported by the DCAA, the documentary recounts and celebrates 75 years of Open Skies, a milestone the DCAA reached in 2012. The film documents the vision and the contribution of the leaders of the Emirate of Dubai that led to the exceptional growth of the aviation industry and its monumental impact on the country's economy.
