Business aviation traffic at Dubai South has continued its upward trajectory, with the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) recording 9,753 private jet movements in the first half of 2025.

The figure marks a 15% increase over the same period last year, reflecting Dubai’s growing status as a global hub for business travel and investment.

Khalifa Al Zaffin, executive chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, said: “The consistent rise in business aviation movements reflects the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish the emirate as a global hub for investors, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals.”

MBRAH serves as a free-zone destination for global aerospace companies, offering connectivity and hosting private jet operators, airlines, training campuses, and maintenance centers.

“At MBRAH, we remain committed to delivering world-class infrastructure and services that strengthen our position as a vital gateway for international business aviation, as it prepares to meet future demand, and growing trust from industry partners in Dubai’s aviation ecosystem.”
