This was done under the direct supervision of Major General Mohamed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai, contributing to enhancing cooperation and smooth passenger movement, said the Wam news agency report.
Through their dedicated efforts, the airport, land, and sea ports team achieved outstanding performance, providing high-quality services to passengers totalling 419,047 on April 15, 16, and 17.
