The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South said it recorded a historic 17,891 private jet movements in 2024, up by 7 per cent compared to the previous year.
This marked the highest-ever private jet activity in Dubai, the company said.
In December 2024 alone, over 2,600 movements were recorded, reflecting a 51 per cent increase compared to the same year-ago period, it said.
This growth is driven by several factors, including Dubai’s status as a year-round global hub for exhibitions, leisure and entertainment events, business activities, and, most notably, tourism, the company said.
The emirate welcomed 18.72 million international visitors in 2024, further reinforcing its appeal.
Tariq Bin Ghalaita, General Aviation Director at Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub, said the milestone reaffirms Al Maktoum International Airport’s status as the busiest airport for business aviation movements in the Middle East.
“2024 was a successful year for us, as we signed multiple agreements with leading aviation players to establish their presence at the hub and inaugurated several new state-of-the-art facilities,” he said.
MBRAH offers global aerospace players high-level connectivity and is a free-zone destination for the world’s leading airlines, private jet companies, and associated industries.
Located in and developed by Dubai South, MBRAH is also home to maintenance centres and training and education campuses.
