Who We Are
Dubai Private Jet Charter arranges private charter flights out of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider Emirates, for individuals, families, corporate teams and government delegations. We arrange on-demand charter, group trips, empty leg flights and cargo.
We are a charter broker. We do not own aircraft and we do not operate them, and that distinction matters more than it sounds: the operator holds operational control of your flight, and we work for you. We work as advisors, and we do the extra work that is not required. Under DOT Part 295, when we book a flight as your agent rather than as the operator, we put it in writing.
Why the Vetting Matters
The charter industry has more than 4,000 brokers worldwide and almost no barrier to entry. Most are not required to hold a license, carry insurance, or pass any test. We hold ourselves to standards no one makes us meet: operator due diligence before we quote, NBAA membership since 2012, and Premium Wyvern Broker Member status. Fewer than 60 brokers in the world hold that designation, and we are one of them.
Before we put an aircraft in front of you we confirm the operator’s certification, review its safety and incident history, and check that the pilots are qualified and current on that specific type. Where the operator subscribes to Wyvern or ARGUS, we review that too.
Which Dubai Airport
This is the question worth getting right, and it is where most of the advice on this market goes wrong. Dubai has two international airports. Dubai International Airport (OMDB/DXB) is the established one, close to the city, and private aviation uses it; the idea that private jets cannot land there is simply not true. Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW/DWC), out at Dubai World Central, is the newer field with more room.
What decides it for your trip is availability on your date, the aircraft, and where you are going once you land. A peak-season arrival into the busier field is not always the best option, and we would rather tell you that at quote stage than on the morning of your trip. Your advisor will put the real options in front of you instead of assuming based off a rule of thumb.
Across the border in Abu Dhabi, Al Bateen Executive Airport (OMAD/AZI) is a dedicated business aviation airport close to the city center, and for a client whose plans are flexible between the emirates it is worth asking about. Zayed International Airport (OMAA/AUH) serves Abu Dhabi more broadly, and Sharjah International Airport (OMSJ/SHJ), Al Ain International Airport (OMAL/AAN), Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (OMRK/RKT) and Fujairah International Airport (OMFJ/FJR) cover the rest of the country. Whether a particular aircraft can use a particular field on your date is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on the day, so we confirm it with them rather than reading it off a runway length.
Mostly Long Trips
Dubai is a long-haul market, and that shapes almost every conversation we have here. The two routes clients ask about most are Dubai to London, into Farnborough Airport (EGLF/FAB), London Luton Airport (EGGW/LTN) or London Heathrow Airport (EGLL/LHR). The other common request is Dubai to New York, into Teterboro Airport (KTEB/TEB) or John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK/JFK). Both are ultra-long-range aircraft conversations, where range and cabin on a long night flight decide the answer rather than cabin preference alone.
Shorter legs fill the rest of the picture: Doha and Riyadh in the Gulf, Delhi and Mumbai across the Arabian Sea, Le Bourget and Geneva into Europe. Those are a different aircraft question, and a smaller one.
When You Are Flying
The busy half of the year here is the cooler half, broadly November through April, and that is when aircraft and arrival slots are tightest. Through the summer it is hot and much quieter, which usually means better availability and better pricing for anyone whose dates can move. Ramadan and Eid shift through the calendar each year and change travel patterns around them, so your advisor will check them against the date that year rather than assuming a time-frame.
On international departures, landing permits and overflight clearances are generally applied for after the trip is secured on the aircraft schedule, and the timeline is sometimes set by the local airport authority rather than by us. We will always do our best to meet your times, and we will tell you early where the approvals sit.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
What to Expect
Our advisors answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You get a direct answer on aircraft, availability and timing, and if something changes between booking and departure you hear it from us first. One advisor stays with the trip from the first call through to the landing.
When you are ready, call 1-888-987-5387 or send us the trip.
