The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) announced the start of construction of the second phase of Dubai Helipark, its Helicopter Centre, in partnership with Air Chateau International. Air Chateau International was certified by the General Civil Aviation Authority to commence helicopter operations at the Dubai Helipark in 2022, providing a window for the multitude of private helicopter owners, individuals and corporates to consider leasing a parking spot within the premises and guarantee easy access to other heliports.

The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by Tahnoon Saif, CEO of MBRAH; Dr Samir Mohammed, Chairman and Founder of Air Chateau International; Shilton Tony Irudayaraj, Co-Founder and CEO of Air Chateau; and other senior executives.

Dubai Helipark, spanning over 42,800 square metres, is adjacent to the private jets terminal, and the new phase will incorporate a landside helicopter hangar, which will be a commercially owned and operated landside hangar. It will feature an extension of the existing apron to accommodate 12 helicopter parkings and cater to world-class helicopter MRO services.

The state-of-the-art helicopter centre is the largest of its kind,
