Soaring Private Jet Traffics Bolster Dubai's Dominance in Aviation Sector

In the heart of Dubai, the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South is making a name for itself as a global destination for aviation and business. The strategic development of this free-zone hub, serving airlines, private jet operators, and aerospace industries, has reinforced Dubai's long-term plan to strengthen its position as a leading aviation and business hub.

Under the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai aims to be recognised as a beacon for investors, entrepreneurs, and high net worth individuals. This ambition is evident in the growth of private jets in the MBRAH, with a 15% increase in private jet movements during the first half of 2025, totaling 9,753 flights.

The growth at MBRAH is a testament to Dubai's commitment to accommodating growing demand in the aviation sector. The hub's infrastructure and services support international business aviation, offering advanced connectivity for global aviation players. This connectivity has further reinforced Al Maktoum International Airport's status as the Middle East's leading business aviation hub.

H.E. Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, attributes the growth to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The strategic development of MBRAH underscores Dubai's commitment to maintaining world-class infrastructure and services to support international business aviation.

MBRAH hosts a variety of facilities, including maintenance facilities, training programs, and educational campuses. The presence of MBRAH at Dubai South enhances Dubai's capabilities in aerospace operations and workforce development. The increase in private jet movements further demonstrates strong confidence from international partners in Dubai's aviation business.

Looking forward, continued investment in MBRAH's infrastructure and services is expected to support its growth and contribute to Dubai's broader economic growth and connectivity ambitions. The hub's momentum as a central gateway for international business aviation is set to be maintained, further cementing Dubai's position as a global destination for investors, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals.
