Flying private to Dubai
Dubai is served by 2 airports used by private jets. The main one is Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai World Central) (OMDW), 40 minutes from the centre. Customs on site.
Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai World Central) OMDW
14,764 ft · 40 min · customs · 24h
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.
Dubai International Airport OMDB
13,123 ft · 15 min · customs · 24h
The world's busiest international hub, only 15 minutes from Downtown and DIFC, with FBOs clustered around Terminal 2 and the Executive Flight area. Slots are tightly coordinated and parking is limited and expensive; most operators position to Al Maktoum after drop-off. Unbeatable convenience for Deira, Downtown and Business Bay.
