Private Jet Charter Sees Strong Growth in UAE

Private Jet Charter, one of the world's largest independent private jet charter brokers and consultants providing access to over 50,000 aircraft, has said that private aviation business in the UAE and Dubai in particular, is witnessing strong growth driven by a combination of factors.

The favourable factors include accelerated economic recovery from recession and unrest in some parts of the region, generating a higher demand for charter flights to and from the UAE.

 “Dubai is well positioned to see a rise in visitors and private jet business due to disturbances in other parts of the region,” said Private Jet Charter founder and Chief Executive, Hugh Courtenay. “The strong performance of the private jet business in Dubai has outpaced the growth in other parts of the Middle East due to the emirate’s consolidation as a key holiday destination.”

The unrest and uncertainty in some countries in the Middle East region has prompted tourists to cancel their travel bookings to these destinations which attracted more than 25 million visitors last year. Dubai could capture more than 5 million of these 25 million tourists, which will automatically boost the private jet business, according to Courtenay.

“Most of our clients are high net worth individuals and affluent families, who look at Dubai as a preferred destination, especially considering the uncertainty in some parts of the region,” Courtenay said. “Affluent holiday makers look for convenience and time savings in jet services and this is where Private Jet Charter fits in. Based on bookings from our clients, who include royal families, wealthy business people and CEOs, the UAE has emerged as a destination of choice for spending their summer vacation.”

Benefits of Private Jet Charter include state-of-the-art new generation private jets, high-calibre pilots and cabin crew, use of private business and VIP terminals, check-in only 15 minutes before departure, rapid but secure, immigration procedures, ‘meet and greet’ facilities, comprehensive airport information and limousine ground transportation, if required.
