Griffiths is a visionary leader, and one of the most-respected executives in the airport industry.

In the face of the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis, Mr. Griffiths' adept leadership enabled DXB to emerge as a global leader in the recovery of air travel, surpassing pre-pandemic traffic levels in 2023. Strategically anticipating and preparing for growth, he navigated the crisis effectively, positioning DXB ahead of projections. Throughout 2022-23, under Mr. Griffiths' guidance, DXB accommodated double-digit growth in passenger numbers and achieved significant enhancements in the airport experience, ensuring a seamless journey for tens of millions of guests from curb to boarding gates.
