Luxury and business aviation meet in Dubai

The UAE is increasingly establishing itself as a prime destination for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and an elite clientele, thanks to a combination of unique benefits: advantageous investment opportunities, a luxurious lifestyle and flexible visa options. The country's strategic location, which allows convenient trading hours between major global markets, further enhances its attractiveness. These factors have made the Emirates the top destination for millionaires in 2024, with an expected net inflow of more than 6,700 new wealthy residents, the highest globally.

 

 

The UAE is not only synonymous with luxury, but also represents a central hub for business aviation. In the first six months of 2024, private jet movements at the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) in Dubai South saw a 7% increase compared to the previous year. Data from WingX also highlights how the Middle East continues to lead the recovery of business aviation, cementing its position as a vital hub for global connectivity and trade.

 

From December 10 to 12, the MEBAA Show 2024, hosted at Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), will offer a reference platform for HNWIs, decision-makers and industry professionals. The event, dedicated to the business aviation industry and the world of luxury, will be the ideal place to discover the latest trends and innovations in the sector, as well as present exclusive lifestyle experiences.

 

 

The last edition welcomed an international clientele, who took advantage of the Platinum Guest program, guaranteeing an unparalleled VIP experience . This year, the program has been further enhanced thanks to the sponsorship of Falcon and will be joined by the new Luxury Boulevard, a showcase for the best luxury brands and exclusive services, designed to create meaningful connections between the worlds of luxury and aviation.

 

The Platinum Guest program offers an exclusive experience that includes access through Falcon's private terminal, skip-the-line entry, the ability to arrange personalized business jet visits, platinum lounge access, and invitations to private events. Luxury Boulevard will feature world-renowned brands, including Gulf Craft, DarGlobal, Baccarat Hotel & Residences Maldives and many more. This space is designed to connect the main players in the luxury sector with the most demanding customers, offering experiences with attention to the smallest details in Dubai.
