Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at flydubai, has been honoured with the Executive Leadership for the Middle East & Africa accolade at the 2025 Airline Strategy Awards in London on 15th July 2025.
The Airline Strategy Awards, now celebrating their 21st edition, are globally recognised for celebrating excellence in airline leadership and strategic innovation. Organised by FlightGlobal in partnership with Korn Ferry, the awards are adjudicated by an independent panel of respected industry experts.
This year’s award highlights Ghaith Al Ghaith’s strategic leadership and his longstanding contribution to the aviation industry in the Middle East and Africa. Since flydubai’s founding in 2008, he has guided the airline’s transformation into one of the region’s most dynamic carriers, expanding a network that now covers more than 135 destinations across 58 countries. Notably, over 100 of these routes were underserved markets that previously did not have direct air links to Dubai or were not served by a UAE carrier.
