Travel with Prime Jet Services to United Arab Emirates and the Rest of the World

The United Arab Emirates remains one of the world’s most compelling destinations for private jet charter, whether you are arriving for business in Dubai, a government meeting in Abu Dhabi, or a leisure visit across the Emirates. Prime Jet Services arranges bespoke charter flights to and within the UAE, with access to the full range of airports serving the region — from the world’s busiest international hubs to dedicated executive facilities. Below is a practical guide to the airports available to you.

Dubai International Airport and Dubai Al Maktoum Airport

Dubai International Airport (IATA: DXB, ICAO: OMDB) is the principal gateway to the UAE and ranks among the world’s five busiest airports by passenger traffic, serving more than 200 destinations globally. It operates as both an origin-and-destination hub and a major international transit point, and has been operational since 1960. In April 2007 it was formally constituted as a commercial entity. The airport is located in the Al Garhoud district of Dubai, close to the city centre, and is operated by Dubai Airports Company.

Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport (IATA: DWC, ICAO: OMDW), also known as Dubai World Central, began operations in 2010 and is situated in the south of Dubai, nearer to Abu Dhabi and the former Expo 2020 site. Passenger traffic has grown steadily each year, and the facility is expected to eventually replace Dubai International Airport in the long term. Currently it primarily serves general aviation and cargo aircraft, and offers the considerable advantage of virtually no traffic restrictions — making it particularly suitable for private charter operations.

Sharjah International Airport

Sharjah International Airport (IATA: SHJ, ICAO: OMSJ) has become a well-established international hub in its own right, handling both passenger and cargo traffic. It holds the distinction of having the longest runway among its neighbouring airports — a specification that allows it to accommodate the world’s largest aircraft — and has grown significantly as a cargo facility since it became operational in 1977. The airport is situated more than 10 km from Sharjah City Centre and is operated by the Sharjah Airport Authority.

Abu Dhabi International Airport and Al Bateen Executive Airport

Abu Dhabi International Airport (IATA: AUH, ICAO: OMAA) is the second-largest airport in the UAE and the principal hub for Etihad Airways, the national carrier. Operational since 1982 and situated approximately 40 km from the centre of Abu Dhabi, it serves at least 100 destinations and handles more than 20 million passengers annually. It is operated by Abu Dhabi Airports Corporation.

Al Bateen Executive Airport (IATA: AZI, ICAO: OMAD) occupies a markedly different role: a dedicated general aviation and presidential flights facility located in the heart of Abu Dhabi city on Abu Dhabi island. Its central location and purpose-built infrastructure make it the preferred choice for private charter arrivals and departures within the capital.

Al Ain International Airport

Al Ain International Airport (IATA: AAN, ICAO: OMAL) serves as the second international airport of the Abu Dhabi emirate and has been operational since 1994. It is run by Abu Dhabi Airports Corporation and is located approximately 20 km from the city of Al Ain, which sits within the Abu Dhabi emirate. The airport currently serves nine destinations and, while modest in scale, plays an important role in supporting the region’s economy and connectivity. Expansion plans are in progress, with new destinations and airline services intended to increase both capacity and passenger traffic in the years ahead.

Fujairah International Airport

Fujairah International Airport (IATA: FJR, ICAO: OMFJ) has been operational since 1987 and is located just 2 km from Fujairah city, operated by the Department of Civil Aviation, Fujairah. The airport has the capacity to handle at least two million passengers, though current traffic remains well below that — approximately 30,000 to 35,000 passengers at present. The relatively uncrowded airspace in this part of the UAE means minimal delays, which is a practical advantage for charter operations. A cargo terminal with warehouse and storage facilities is also on site. The Department of Civil Aviation has announced expansion projects aimed at growing trade and tourism in the region. The airport also benefits from its proximity to Dubai.
