DELTA Coatings International starts construction on new facility in Dubai
By
The hub will feature open-plan workspaces for collaboration amongst DELTA's growing international team, and will showcase the firm's polyurea based coatings through customer engagement areas
DELTA Coatings International has officially commenced construction on its new headquarters and manufacturing facility at Dubai Industrial City (DIC). This eco-friendly development signifies a pivotal moment in DELTA Coatings' strategic growth plan, aiming to substantially expand production and foster innovation.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by senior representatives from DELTA Coatings International and Dubai Industrial City, including Saud Abu Al-Shawareb, Managing Director of Dubai Industrial City; Abdulla Alraeesi, Assistant Manager of Business Development at Dubai Industrial City; Saleem, Chairman and Founder of DELTA Coatings International; Sami Saleem, Chief Executive Officer; Belvin Marx, General Manager and Paul Symmons, Business Development Manager.
The new plant will be partially powered by renewable energy, including a substantial rooftop solar panel installation. This initiative aligns with the company's ongoing sustainability and decarbonisation efforts. Once operational, the facility will significantly increase DELTA Coatings' existing manufacturing output by tripling it, while also tripling its warehouse space. This expansion will enable the company to better meet the surging global demand for its DELTAShield product range, a statement highlighted.
'Our new global HQ and plant represents a pivotal moment in DELTA Coatings' evolution since its inception over 20 years ago,' said Belvin Marx, General Manager at DELTA Coatings International. 'With growing awareness of polyurea's superior durability and increased demand globally, the new plant will empower our teams to innovate and deliver even greater value to our clients and partners globally. From demonstrating the performance benefits of polyurea coatings and waterproofing to training the next generation of applicators, this facility is designed to inspire and support market leadership.'
The hub will feature modern, open-plan workspaces that facilitate collaboration among DELTA's growing international team. It will also include customer engagement areas that showcase the strength and versatility of polyurea-based coatings. The plant will triple its current manufacturing output and warehouse space, with scalable infrastructure to accommodate continued growth and meet increasing product demand, the firm said.
The site will also house a R&D Centre of Excellence. This advanced laboratory will focus on developing next-generation polyurea products that are tailored to challenging regional climates and client-specific needs. This will ensure that DELTA Coatings remains an international leader in innovation. The new facility, scheduled for completion and commissioning in December 2025, is situated in Dubai Industrial City. It offers access to key markets across the GCC and beyond, just a 20-minute drive from Dubai World Central Airport and Jebel Ali Port, and within a 45-minute drive of Abu Dhabi.
A Graco HPCF equipment training hub will be established within the facility, serving as a regional centre for demonstrations of HPCF spray equipment, rapid maintenance and repair services, and hands-on training programs for coating applicators. A high-efficiency warehouse and distribution centre will be integrated with electronic stock management systems to optimise inventory control and guarantee reliable, timely product deliveries.

US threatens Mexican airline flights over airline competition issues
The Trump administration said it is taking a series of actions against Mexico over the government's decisions to rescind some flight slots for American carriers and force US cargo carriers to relocate operations in Mexico City. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement the department could disapprove flight requests from Mexico if the government fails to address US concerns over decisions made in 2022 and 2023. The department is also proposing to withdraw antitrust immunity from the Delta Air Lines joint venture with Aeromexico to address competitive issues in the market. Mexico is the most popular international destination among US airline travellers. The Transportation Department said Mexico has not been in compliance with a bilateral air agreement since 2022 when it abruptly rescinded slots and then forced US all-cargo carriers to relocate operations in 2023. Duffy said Mexico was expected to allow construction to alleviate congestion at Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX), but that has yet to materialize three years later. "By restricting slots and mandating that all-cargo operations move out of MEX, Mexico has broken its promise, disrupted the market, and left American businesses holding the bag for millions in increased costs," the department said. The Transportation Department issued a pair of orders requiring Mexican airlines to file schedules with the department for all their US operations and requiring prior US approval before operating any large passenger or cargo aircraft charter flights to or from the United States. "Mexico has altered the playing field significantly for airlines in ways that reduce competition and allow predominant competitors to gain an unfair advantage in the US-Mexico market," the department said. "Mexico's actions harm airlines seeking to enter the market, existing competitor airlines, consumers of air travel and products relying on time-sensitive air cargo shipments traded between the two countries, and other stakeholders in the American economy." If the US rescinds antitrust approval for Delta and Aeromexico, they would be required to discontinue cooperation on common pricing, capacity management, and revenue sharing, but Delta would also be able to retain its equity stake in Aeromexico, maintain all of its existing flying in the US-Mexico market unimpeded and continue a partnership.

US Airlines Cut Gulf Routes Amid Regional Tensions
American Airlines and United Airlines have suspended their Gulf routes due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. The move marks the first time major U.S. carriers have paused services to key transit hubs like Doha and Dubai, raising concerns among travelers and industry insiders. American Airlines Suspends Philadelphia–Doha Route American Airlines has suspended its daily flight from Philadelphia to Doha, Qatar. The last flight departed from Doha early Thursday, and service is paused until at least June 22. The decision follows a security advisory from the U.S. Embassy in Qatar, which urged American citizens to remain vigilant, avoid demonstrations and large gatherings, and keep a low profile. In a statement, American Airlines said: 'We will continue to monitor the situation with safety and security top of mind and will adjust our operation further as needed.' United Airlines Halts Newark–Dubai Service United Airlines also announced it has paused its daily Newark–Dubai flights. The airline stated it would resume the service only 'when it's safe.' This follows earlier suspensions of Tel Aviv routes by both United and Delta, after Israel launched airstrikes against Iran earlier this month. Major Hubs Affected for the First Time This is the first time the aviation disruption caused by the Israel–Iran conflict has affected regional transit giants like Dubai and Doha. These hubs are vital for long-haul flights connecting the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Air France-KLM and Air Canada have also canceled multiple flights to Gulf destinations this week, including Dubai and Riyadh, signaling a wider trend of caution among global carriers. Airspace Disruptions Continue Airspace closures reached a peak on Friday. Israel halted all overflights, and Iran temporarily shut down operations at Tehran's main airport. Other countries in the region, like Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, have been alternating between opening and closing their airspace as tensions evolve. Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Qatar reported temporary restrictions on access to Al Udeid Air Base, a key U.S. and allied military facility in the region. What This Means for Travelers If you're traveling to or through the Middle East in the coming weeks, be sure to double-check your flight status and monitor embassy advisories. Airlines are expected to resume services only when the regional situation stabilizes.
