The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub at Dubai South has achieved a historic milestone, recording a record 20,289 business aviation movements in 2025. This 17 percent increase compared to the previous year marks the highest private jet activity ever recorded in the emirate.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, MBR Aerospace Hub saw over 6,926 movements, representing an 18 percent year-on-year rise compared to Q4 2024.
This consistent growth has been driven by several factors, including Dubai’s status as a year-round global hub for business, exhibitions, leisure, and entertainment, as well as the successful hosting of major events such as the Dubai Airshow 2025, GITEX Global, and the World Government Summit.
The momentum is also reflected in figures from the Dubai Economic and Tourism Department, which show that the emirate welcomed 19.59 million international overnight visitors in 2025, a 5 percent increase from 2024.
In his comments, Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, said, “The record growth in business aviation movements reflects Dubai’s continued evolution as a global centre for aviation, trade, and tourism. At Dubai South, we remain focused on building a future-ready ecosystem that supports long-term demand, enables seamless operations and reinforces our role in advancing our wise leadership’s vision of positioning Dubai as the aviation capital of the world.”
