A new private aviation terminal combining private jet, helicopter and future eVTOL operations is set to be built in Dubai, marking what developers say will be a major step forward in the emirate’s ambitions for urban air mobility.
Falcon Executive Aviation, part of Alex Group Investment, unveiled the project at the Dubai Airshow, describing it as the first facility in the UAE designed from the outset to integrate all three modes of private air transport within a single multimodal gateway.
The terminal, to be constructed on a 6,380-square-metre site, will feature direct access to a helipad and a purpose-built vertiport, enabling immediate helicopter and, in future, eVTOL arrivals and departures.
Falcon says the hub will allow private jet passengers to land, clear customs privately and transfer directly to helicopters or eVTOL aircraft for fast intra-city or inter-emirate travel.
The development is also set to include high-end retail, private banking services, commercial space and dedicated VIP lounges, with the company positioning the terminal as part of a premium “vertical-mobility ecosystem”.
Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, founder and chairman of Alex Group Investment, said the facility would underpin Dubai’s next phase of aviation growth.
“This terminal marks a decisive shift in Dubai’s aviation future,” he said.
“For the first time, private jet operations, helicopter services and next-generation eVTOL mobility will operate under one fully private gateway.
“We are building the largest helipad facility in the UAE, not as an addition, but as a foundation for the region’s future air mobility network.”
Construction timelines have not yet been disclosed, but Falcon Executive Aviation said the terminal would serve as a central platform for Dubai’s emerging advanced air mobility strategy.
