In a heartwarming initiative called ‘Autumn with Dubai Civil Aviation Authority’, elderly Emiratis are being treated to helicopter rides over Dubai’s most iconic landmarks. Launched on International Day for Older Persons, the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) partnered with Air Chateau and the Community Development Authority (CDA) to give senior citizens a unique opportunity to see the emirate from the skies.

The flights, starting from Al Barsha Community Center, delighted participants, with one excited senior saying, “It’s beautiful, nothing can be more beautiful,” while another joyfully added, “I feel so good, I want to fly.”

Mohammed Abdulla Lengawi, Director General of the DCAA, highlighted that the initiative aligns with the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, emphasizing the importance of involving senior citizens in community activities.
