With soaring summer bookings and exclusive JetCard offers, Dubai cements its status as the region’s premier hub for luxury air travel.
Dubai Tops Middle East in Private Jet Demand, Says X-1 Jets CEO
Dubai has emerged as the leading market for private jet travel in the Middle East, according to the CEO of Monaco-based aviation firm X-1 Jets. The city’s growing appetite for luxury, speed, and convenience is fuelling regional demand and redefining the future of private aviation in the Gulf.
In an exclusive statement, the CEO noted a sharp rise in bookings originating from Dubai, particularly ahead of Summer 2025, as affluent travellers seek seamless getaways to destinations like Mykonos and Ibiza. Prices for these premium routes start at just over AED 20,000 per flight hour, making luxury air travel more accessible for high-net-worth individuals and groups.
To meet this demand, X-1 Jets has launched its Summer 2025 JetCard programme, offering flexible packages ranging from 6.25 to 25 flight hours aboard light jets that accommodate up to eight passengers. The JetCard offers a convenient and efficient alternative to commercial travel, appealing to both leisure and business travellers across the Gulf.
“Dubai is not just a gateway — it’s the engine driving private aviation growth in the Middle East,” the CEO explained. “From business executives to holidaymakers, our clients want more than luxury — they want control, privacy, and precision.”
With demand showing no signs of slowing, Dubai is firmly establishing itself as a private aviation powerhouse, connecting the region to Europe’s most sought-after summer destinations — all while setting new benchmarks in exclusivity and efficiency.
