Former Heathrow Airport chief executive Tony Douglas has become CEO of Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC).
Mr Douglas, formerly CEO at Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC), will lead the multi-billion dollar Mid Field Terminal project set to boost capacity to 40 million passengers per year.
He is credited with delivering Heathrow’s $6.8bn Terminal 5 project smoothly, and leading the programme management team for London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
"This represents a challenge on a truly global scale with an opportunity to deliver one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects worldwide," he said.

Meanwhile, Dubai contracting giant Arabtec has hired Murray & Roberts Contractors’ former managing director Mark Andrews as its new chief operating officer.
Mr Andrews, who was also the managing director of Drake & Scull, will join the company in May, ArabianBusiness.com reported.
Arabtec replaced its CEO, founder Riad Kamal, and CFO in recent weeks in a management shake-up led by Abu Dhabi state fund Aabar, its top shareholder.
