Dubai
A private jet carrying 13 passengers took off from the newly-built VIP Terminal at the Aviation District at Al Maktoum International, Dubai World Central, marking the beginning of operations at the world’s first seven-star facility dedicated to private aviation, Dubai South said in a statement on Tuesday. The first flight, an Embraer Legacy aircraft, that was headed to The Maldives, was handled by JetEx, a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) having a dedicated facility at the VIP terminal. Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the 5,600-square metre stand-alone terminal will cater specifically to private, business and government VIP travellers.
