Large-cabin, long-range aircraft connect Dubai to the world
Dubai-based ExecuJet Middle East has expanded capabilities from its private jet terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) by adding a number of large-cabin, long-range aircraft to its fleet.
This comes as private jet use surges in the region, with year-to-date traffic up 77% in the Middle East (as of February 2025) since 2019.
Aircraft added to the managed ExecuJet fleet include the Bombardier Global 7500, Gulfstream G650ER, Dassault Falcon 8X and the Boeing Business Jet.
The Global 7500 has a range of 7,700 nautical miles, meaning it can fly non-stop from Dubai to New York, Tokyo and Sydney.

Renowned for its superior performance, the Falcon 8X can fly 6,450 nautical miles and can access airports such as London City that are not possible to reach with other large cabin jets due to the angle of approach and takeoff.
The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) offers a spacious cabin customised from commercial aircraft like the 737 and is usually reserved for heads of state and royalty.
Opened in December 2024, ExecuJet Middle East’s terminal has exclusive suites, a private cocktail and cigar lounge, majlis lounge, conference room, kids’ lounge, spa and grooming services.
With rising demand for private jets across the Middle East, ExecuJet Middle East has said it aims to manage 30 aircraft by 2030.
According to WingX, the recognised leading authority on private and business jet data, Saudi is expected to see a greater business jet boost, as the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) opened Saudi skies to foreign operators from 1 May 2025. That has prompted many operators in the region to increase their fleets.
