“There is not enough space on airlines flying in to Dubai to meet the rapidly rising demand for physical gold in the emirate since the price plunged to record lows this week. The price drop led to a rush of buyers for Dubai gold from the Middle East, South East Asia, the Balkans, Turkey and parts of Europe according to Tarek El Mdaka, the managing director of Kaloti Gold in Dubai. ‘I cannot find a place for transporting gold on Emirates, on BA on Swiss Airlines this weekend,’ Mr El Mdaka said. ‘I am shipping in one-and-a-half to two tonnes of gold every day and it is going straight out.’ Gold is in such short supply in Dubai that he is able to charge a US$3 premium per ounce.”
