Business jet movements at the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South reached almost 8,500 in the first half of the year, which represented growth of 7% from a year ago.&nbsp;This figure reflects the growing maturity of business aviation services and reinforces the status of Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW) as the leading airport for international business aviation movements in the Middle East, the government of Dubai said.
“The growth in private jet movements this year follows a record of 16,657 movements in 2023, with a forecast for these movements to reach 18,000 by the end of 2024,” it said, implying an expected growth rate of 8% for the full year.&nbsp;The main FBOs operating at Dubai South are run by DC Aviation, ExecuJet, Falcon Aviation, Jet Aviation and Jetex.&nbsp;
MBRAH, the location for the upcoming Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) Show in December, has also benefitted from the addition of new MRO facilities, including that of ExecuJet MRO Services, a Dassault Aviation company, that opened last year.&nbsp;Comlux also expects to soon open an <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2022-11-29/comlux-building-light-maintenance-hangar-dubai">MRO facility at Dubai South</a>.

New developments at airports including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
