In October, the UAE government announced that it is working with Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin to bring space tourism flights to the country. The company was reportedly interested in setting up a spaceport in the UAE desert for suborbital flights.
Abdulla bin Touq, Minister of Economy, held a meeting with the company’s vice president Brent Sherwood at the International Astronautical Congress in Dubai to discuss the deal.
“The ministry is working with its partners to establish an open economic ecosystem that attracts investments to target sectors and stimulate innovative companies to support sustainable development and create an advanced investment environment,” Mr bin Touq said.
“Through this collaboration, we look forward to leveraging Blue Origin’s leading expertise in space manufacturing and space and low Earth orbit flight services to support the UAE’s plans. We are also keen to expand the scope of our partnerships with Blue Origin to build and develop space tourism and enhance the national efforts in this respect,” he added.
