American Flight Support (AFS) has opened its fourth main office in Dubai, as part of its global expansion strategy. The new location complements the company’s existing offices in the US, Mexico and Honduras.

Dubai has rapidly emerged as a central hub for business aviation, connecting Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Its world-class infrastructure, strategic geographical position and thriving aviation market make the city an ideal base for AFS. By establishing a permanent presence in Dubai, the company aims to provide faster, more efficient and personalised aviation support to clients in the region.

The office will serve the Middle East and coordinate operations for international operators transiting through the region, offering 24/7 assistance with ground handling, permits, fuel services and VIP coordination.

The Dubai office will be led by regional manager Siraj Muneer, who brings 11 years’ experience in ground operations, flight support and regional partnerships. “Dubai represents more than just expansion: it's about being present where our clients need us the most,” said Muneer. “With our dedicated team on the ground, AFS is ready to raise the standard of aviation services in the Middle East.”

“The Dubai office is another step forward in our mission to build a global network of excellence,” adds CEO Lazo Qaradaxi. “We are also planning to expand further in the Americas, with new offices in Costa Rica and Panama in the near future.”
