The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub in Dubai South recorded 20,289 private flights in 2025, growth of 17% compared with 2024, marking the highest level of private aircraft traffic in the history of the Emirate of Dubai.
The final quarter of 2025 saw 6,926 flights, annual growth of 18% compared with the same period of 2024, reflecting continued strong demand and growing momentum in the private aviation sector, according to the Emirates News Agency website.
This sustained growth is due to several key factors, foremost among them Dubai's position as a year-round global hub for business, exhibitions, tourism and entertainment, along with the successful hosting of major events such as the Dubai Airshow 2025, GITEX Global and the World Governments Summit, among other international events.
This momentum complements tourism sector indicators, as data from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism showed the emirate received 19.59 million international visitors in 2025, growth of 5% compared with 2024.
For his part, Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, explained that this record growth in private aviation traffic reflects Dubai's continued development as a global hub for aviation, trade and tourism. He added that Dubai South continues to work on developing an integrated, future-ready ecosystem that supports long-term demand and provides seamless operations.
