Dubai: The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South is experiencing a surge in private jet traffic, with an impressive 8,472 movements recorded in the first half of 2024. This marks a robust 7% increase from the same period last year, solidifying Al Maktoum International Airport’s position as the top destination for international business aviation in the Middle East.
