- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Dubai's purpose-built business-aviation hub with five private terminals, a 4,500 m runway and no slot congestion. Best for Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Jebel Ali and Expo City; about 40 minutes to DIFC, longer in rush hour. Some VVIP flights still prefer DXB's Terminal 2 GA area for proximity to Downtown.
