Dubai has opened a huge VIP Terminal, minutes away from Al Maktoum International at Dubai South, the integrated city being built around the largest airport in the making and home to Expo 2020.

The 5,600-sq-m terminal, said to be the largest of its kind in the world, is Dubai’s new and prestigious gateway for VIP travellers, offering hitherto unseen superlative services and connectivity.

The terminal is poised to be a game changer in the business aviation sector, offering VIP customers a seamless travel experience, coupled with time and cost efficiencies within a thriving aviation ecosystem.

With experiential retail as a core attraction, the terminal boasts stylised luxurious interiors, designed to maximise privacy and serenity, while engaging the passengers with specially curated, bespoke high-end shopping products. The terminal’s façade is inspired by the aerodynamic fluid lines of an aircraft wing.

The VIP Terminal currently hosts three FBOs (fixed-base operators) including Falcon Aviation, Jetex and Jet Aviation.
