Gary, the various agreements between the local and national governments were only signed in 2006 and the final land acquisitions went through in 2006, with land clearing starting soon after (one grader moving slowly around a rice field to start).

I never heard a completion date of 2006, it has always been 2009 and operational 2010 (which of course they will miss).

Emaar are not responsible for funding the building of the airport, but a functioning international airport is obviously required in order for Emaar to sell their development to the various hotel and resort operators.
