Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Dubai’s millionaires are fueling a private jet boom
Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with
a population of about 3.6 million, over 90% of which are expatriates. It has the
world’s tallest building and over 60 five-star hotels, more than New York or
Paris. Also, Dubai is a major hub for business, commerce, cargo, and air transportation.
Dubai International Airport is the second-busiest in the world’s passenger traffic.
Dubai is also a global hub for private jets. Located at Dubai South, Mohammed
bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH), is the region’s first aerospace hub. It registered
a record surge in business jet movements during 2023, with over 16,000 business
jet movements, and is projected to grow aggressively. Why is the private air
travel business growing so much in Dubai? Isn’t there environmental
consideration as private jets are 10 times more carbon-intensive than airliners
on average?
Read the article and learn about how and why Dubai is a hot hub for
luxurious air travel.
