The need for qualified people is about the only constraint to growth in the booming air transport markets of the Middle East and Asia, and the fact that DAE University was the first of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise’s six business units to get a chief executive reflects that reality.
Dr. George Ebbs, the university’s president and CEO, had retired after seven years as president of Florida’s Embry Riddle University in 2005.

Now he oversees 57, with more to come, and in September the first 21 undergraduates started their courses.
