Flying private to Dubai
Dubai is served by 2 airports used by private jets, led by 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.
