UAE Business: Five most popular destinations to visit by private jet – Gulf Digital News

As the travel and hospitality industry rebounds after a sluggish last few years, the pent up demand has resulted in a boom for private jet charters, said an industry expert, listing five most popular destinations to visit by private jet.

“Dubai is perfectly positioned at the crossroads of east and west, with a number of wonderful destinations within a six to eight-hour flight radius,” added Dmitriy Korshunov, CEO of leading air charter brokers Delta World Charter (DWC).

“Travelers from the Middle East have a great appetite for luxury shopping, arts and culture, which makes certain destinations much more popular than others. While London has historically always been one of the most appealing holiday spots, we are seeing the rise of new regional favourites such as Al Ula.”
