RAK Tourism Development Authority CEO Haitham Mattar said: "Ras Al Khaimah is an ambitious market and is poised for transformational growth with the development of the Al Marjan Island, a 2.7 million square meter man-made archipelago, which will ultimately become home to 30 hotels, entertainment, restaurants, shopping and theme parks.

"From tourism, investment and trade, we are building a hugely compelling offering and it is time that the world’s aviation industry took notice.

"We are in talks with global airlines about using RAK International Airport as an operational base, which will ultimately support over 400,000 visitors flying in and out of the airport directly on an annual basis."
