Dubai has unveiled a groundbreaking private terminal designed to accommodate helicopters, flying taxis, and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Developed by Falcon Executive Aviation, a UAE-based aviation company, the terminal was announced at the recently concluded Dubai Airshow 2025. Spanning a 6,380 square meter plot, the facility is engineered as an ultra-private hub with direct helipad and vertiport access, enabling seamless arrivals, departures, and inter-emirate transfers. The terminal is part of a broader vision to revolutionize air mobility in the region. It will offer a streamlined travel experience, allowing passengers to land via private jet, clear customs privately, and transition to helicopters or eVTOLs for rapid point-to-point travel across Dubai. In addition to its advanced aviation capabilities, the terminal will feature luxury amenities such as high-end retail, private banking, commercial spaces, and dedicated VIP lounges, all designed to support a premium vertical-mobility ecosystem. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, founder and chairman of Alex Group Investment, emphasized that this project marks the beginning of a new chapter for aviation in Dubai, positioning the UAE as a leader in future air mobility. The initiative is bolstered by the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), which has issued a regulatory framework allowing eVTOLs and conventional helicopters to operate interchangeably on the same infrastructure. This dual-use approach is expected to accelerate implementation timelines and optimize infrastructure utilization. Visitors to the Dubai Airshow 2025 were given a preview of the flying taxi set to be deployed by the first quarter of next year, further highlighting Dubai’s commitment to pioneering innovative transportation solutions.
