Ajman International Airport

Construction of Ajman International Airport was originally expected to start in March 2004 with first flights in 2006. Obviously that didn't happen. Construction of the airport is now expected to start mid-2008 with completion by 2011. The Ajman Airport is to be located in the Manama area of the emirate.
