Ras Al Khaimah International Airport has announced the construction of a state-of-the-art VVIP terminal and private jet hangar, designed to cater to high-net-worth travelers visiting the emirate’s premier beachfront destinations and the upcoming $3.9-billion Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated gaming resort. The project, unveiled at the Dubai Airshow, is a collaboration between the airport and Falcon Executive Aviation, a subsidiary of Alex Group Investment. The new Fixed Base Operation (FBO) facility will span 1,500 square meters, featuring a Royal lounge, four VVIP lounges, and premium hospitality areas. Airside amenities will include a helipad, extensive aircraft parking, and space for emerging vertical mobility solutions. The 8,000-square-meter multi-purpose hangar will accommodate ultra-long-range private jets and offer maintenance and operational services. Sheikh Salem bin Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Chairman of Ras Al Khaimah’s Department of Civil Aviation, emphasized that the project aligns with the emirate’s aviation and tourism growth strategy, leveraging its proximity to key attractions. The facility is designed to meet LEED Gold standards, incorporating solar power to offset 35% of its energy consumption, fully electric ground support equipment, and sustainable aviation fuel. Construction is set to commence soon, with completion targeted for the first quarter of 2027.
