Falcon is to develop a new fully private multi-modal FBO terminal in Dubai, designed from the ground up to become the city’s primary hub for helicopter services and future eVTOL operations.
The company already operates a private jet facility at Al Maktoum International airport, and the new development will make Falcon the UAE’s first operator to integrate private jet, helicopter and eVTOL services within a single private aviation gateway.
To be constructed on a 6,380sqm plot, the terminal is engineered as an ultra-private facility with direct helipad and vertiport access for immediate helicopter and eVTOL arrivals, departures and inter-emirate transfers. It will also be fully equipped to support sustainable urban air-mobility systems and the region’s future air-taxi network.
The terminal is designed to allow travellers to land by private jet, clear customs privately and continue their journey by helicopter or transition directly to future eVTOL services for rapid point-to-point travel across Dubai. The development will incorporate luxury amenities including high-end retail, private banking, commercial spaces and dedicated VIP lounges, created to support an efficient vertical mobility ecosystem.
The project forms a major pillar of Alex Group Investment’s 2026–2028 strategic roadmap, which includes building Dubai’s most advanced rotary-wing infrastructure and hangar to meet rising demand for airborne mobility and next-generation transport technologies.
Mr Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, founder and chairman of Alex Group Investment, says: “This terminal marks a decisive shift in Dubai’s aviation future. For the first time, private jet operations, helicopter services and next generation eVTOL mobility will operate under one fully private gateway. We are building the largest helipad facility in the UAE, not as an addition, but as a foundation for the region's future air mobility network. This project is the beginning of a new chapter for aviation in Dubai.
