Private jet to Dubai
You fly privately to Dubai into Al Maktoum (DWC), the dedicated business aviation hub, or Dubai International (DXB), which has fewer slots available for private flights. Most operators route through DWC, which is about 40 minutes from Downtown and Palm Jumeirah. Flight times and prices vary widely depending on your origin, from under an hour out of Doha to over seven hours from London.

Dubai
Dubai draws private travellers for its blend of business access, luxury shopping, and year round sun, and the short regional hops make it an easy add on to a Gulf itinerary. From Doha, a Light Jet covers the 206 nm in as little as 0h 51m, priced from €6,000 to €7,400 one way. Longer range flyers from Europe should expect a different scale: a Heavy Jet from London takes 7h 13m and runs €79,800 to €109,100 one way, while Geneva is 6h 28m away at €71,700 to €97,900. Whether you are flying in from the region or across continents, Dubai's airport infrastructure is built to handle private arrivals with minimal friction.

How you arrive
- Dubai Al Maktoum●DWC · OMDW
- Dubai InternationalDXB · OMDB
Private flights into Dubai use either Al Maktoum (DWC), the city's dedicated business aviation hub, or Dubai International (DXB), which is closer to the centre but offers fewer slots for private aircraft. Most brokers and operators favour DWC, from which it takes about 40 minutes to reach Downtown or Palm Jumeirah by car. The choice between the two airports often comes down to slot availability on your travel dates rather than preference alone, so confirming early matters.
When to go
The best season to fly to Dubai runs from October to April, when the weather is mild and conditions are most comfortable for arrival and ground transfers. Demand peaks around New Year and during major events, so aircraft and slots at both DWC and DXB should be booked well ahead for those dates.
