Falcon Executive Aviation, part of Alex Group Investment, announced during the Dubai Airshow the development of 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.
This project establishes Falcon as the UAE’s first operator to fully integrate private jet, helicopter, and eVTOL services within a single private aviation gateway unlocking a new era of urban air mobility for Dubai.
Constructed on a 6,380 sqm plot, the terminal is engineered as an ultra-private facility with direct
Helipad and Vertiport access, enabling immediate helicopter and eVTOL arrivals, departures, and inter emirate transfers.
The terminal will also be fully equipped to support Dubai moves toward sustainable urban air-mobility integration, making Falcon a key player in the region’s upcoming air-taxi network.
This new facility is designed to offer a smooth and rapid mobility experience, where travellers can land by private jet, clear customs privately, and continue their journey by helicopter or transition directly to future eVTOL services for fast point-to-point travel across Dubai.
The development will also include luxury amenities such as high-end retail, private banking, commercial spaces, and dedicated VIP lounges, all created to support a premium, efficient vertical mobility ecosystem.
The project is 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 in airborne mobility and next-generation transport technologies.
Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investment, stated: “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.”
As 2025 comes to an end, Falcon, part of Alex Group Investment, would like to thank its clients and partners and share a few words about the year and what lies ahead.
2025 was a strong year for Falcon. The company grew, delivered, and continued to build something bigger than a traditional private aviation business.
For the first time, Falcon took part in major international aviation events such as EBACE and the Dubai Airshow. These events were an opportunity to meet partners, exchange ideas, and show that Falcon is thinking long term and engaging on a global level.
Growth was also visible in daily operations. Aircraft movements at Falcon Elite’s FBO increased by 77.8% compared to last year. More clients chose Falcon, and more operators trusted the platform. This growth was achieved while maintaining a clear focus on service quality and client satisfaction.
During the year, Falcon strengthened its capabilities. Alex Jet, part of Alex Group Investment, received its UAE Air Operator Certificate, allowing Falcon Luxe to operate private jets under A6 registration. Falcon Technic received Design Organisation Approval, reinforcing its focus on safety, quality, and technical control. Falcon also continued working with trusted partners to ensure reliable, high-performance connectivity for its clients.
What truly defines Falcon is how the company looks to the future. The founder’s vision has always been to think big and look beyond today’s aviation model. In 2025, Falcon announced plans for the first private terminal designed to serve helicopters, private jets, and future eVTOL mobility, investing early in how people will travel tomorrow. Falcon also announced plans for an exclusive private jet terminal in Ras Al Khaimah, next to the region’s first integrated casino destination, reflecting confidence in both the region’s future and Falcon’s continued growth.
Today, Falcon is more than a single aviation service. It is an operator, an FBO, an MRO, a flight support provider, and a growing aviation ecosystem offering multiple services under one wing. This wide range of capabilities allows Falcon to maintain control, move quickly, and deliver a consistent experience to its clients.
Commenting on the year, Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investment said: “2025 was a successful year for Falcon, marked by strong growth and important milestones. But success is only a foundation. In 2026, our ambition is greater.”
As Falcon closes 2025, the message is simple. The company is growing, thinking ahead, and building for the long term.
Season’s greetings from all of us at Falcon.
We look forward to continuing the journey together in 2026.

continuous improvement of aviation operations in the country. The partnership also includes joint
forums, seminars, and knowledge-sharing platforms aimed at advancing safety, regulatory
understanding, and industry best practices.
Commenting on the signing, Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of
Alex Group Investment, said:
“This MOU reflects our shared vision with the GCAA to contribute to the growth and advancement
of the UAE’s aviation sector. Working together allows us to exchange expertise, strengthen
capabilities, and support the continued development of world-class aviation services.”
The signing marks an important milestone for both organisations, reinforcing a united commitment

Ras Al Khaimah International Airport today announced at the Dubai Airshow the development of a VVIP terminal and private jet hangar, in a collaboration with Falcon Executive Aviation, part of Alex Group Investment, that marks an important step forward in Ras Al Khaimah’s journey to become a global entertainment and tourism hub, opening up the airport as a gateway for VVIPs to the Northern Emirates.
The airport has entered into an agreement with Falcon Executive Aviation to develop and operate a new ‘Fixed Base Operation’ facility, a key project within the Emirate’s wider aviation and tourism growth strategy. The new facility, comprising a luxurious 1,500 sq m terminal, 8,000 sq m multi-purpose hangar and 9,000 sq m of apron and aircraft parking areas, leverages its strategic location just 15 minutes away from Ras Al Khaimah’s premier beach resorts and the forthcoming Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort, enhancing the Emirate’s ability to attract high-end travelers and private aviation clientele.
Eng. Sheikh Salem bin Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Chairman of Ras Al Khaimah’s Department of Civil Aviation and Chairman of the Board of Directors of RAK International Airport, said: “Today’s announcement marks a significant milestone in Ras Al Khaimah’s continued emergence as a global destination. The development of this world-class facility strengthens our aviation infrastructure and enhances the Emirate’s ability to welcome high-value visitors, investors and partners from around the world. It underscores our ambition to expand our international reach while ensuring that every traveler’s first impression of Ras Al Khaimah reflects the quality, sophistication and hospitality for which we are known.
“This launch also plays a vital role in driving the sustainable growth of our tourism sector. By integrating advanced technologies, adopting environmentally responsible design principles and supporting new forms of future mobility, we are building an ecosystem that aligns with our long-term development objectives. As we continue to diversify our economy and elevate our global standing, this project represents a forward-looking investment in the prosperity and resilience of Ras Al Khaimah.”
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investment, said: “Alex Group Investment expansion into Ras Al Khaimah marks a significant step in our long-term vision to elevate private aviation services across the UAE. This facility has been designed to match the growth and ambition of the Northern Emirates, combining luxury, operational capability and advanced sustainability standards. It reflects the hard work of our teams and our commitment to delivering world-class infrastructure to support the next chapter of aviation in the region. This development also complements our existing services at Dubai Al Maktoum VIP Terminal, further strengthening Alex Group Investment presence across the country.”
The VVIP terminal will include a Royal lounge, four VVIP lounges, premium hospitality areas and a refined environment tailored to the needs of discreet, high-profile travelers. The surrounding airside infrastructure will accommodate the latest private aviation requirements, with ample aircraft parking, a helipad and space allocated for emerging vertical mobility solutions.
Built to international aviation standards, the facility will incorporate the Falcon Signature Experience and offer a high level of privacy, efficiency and personalized service. Its hangar complex is designed to support a range of private jets, including ultra-long-range aircraft, while providing maintenance and operational capabilities that meet the highest global benchmarks.
Sustainability is a core pillar of the project. The terminal and hangars are being designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, with plans to offset 35% of energy consumption via solar power generation, adopt fully electric ground support equipment and enable the use of sustainable aviation fuel. These measures will contribute to the goal of achieving net-zero operational emissions.
The development represents a significant investment into Ras Al Khaimah’s aviation infrastructure and is expected to generate positive economic impact for the Emirate, which is within four hours’ flying time of one third of the world’s population. Construction is scheduled to take place over the next 15 months, with the facility scheduled to open in Q1 2027.
Alex Jet Aviation Services, a company under Alex Group Investment LLC, has officially obtained its A6 Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the GCAA, granting approval to operate global commercial air transport passenger operations from the the United Arab Emirates. The approval marks a significant development for the Group as it expands its premium private aviation activities through Falcon Luxe.
With this certification, Alex Jet Aviation Services is now Approved to operate executive charter flights on behalf of Falcon Luxe from its principal base at Dubai World Central (DWC), Al Maktoum International Airport. The Operator has also received approval as a Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO), ensuring adherence to the highest international safety and regulatory standards.
The first aircraft to enter commercial service under the new approval is the A6-AFC Global Express XRS. According to the Group’s expansion strategy, six additional aircraft are scheduled to join the fleet by early 2026. By the end of that year, the total fleet is expected to reach fifteen aircraft, positioning Falcon Luxe as one of the fastest-growing private aviation providers in the region.
Maintenance support for the expanding fleet will be provided by Falcon Technic LLC, the Group’s GCAA-approved Part 145 MRO along with it’s Part 21J Design Organisation, ensuring full line and base maintenance capability and uninterrupted operational reliability.
Mr. Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder and Chairman of Alex Group Investment, stated that the approval represents a defining step for the Group’s aviation ambitions.
“Obtaining the A6 registration is a significant achievement for us. It is the result of rigorous preparation, extensive technical work, and the collective effort of our teams across all divisions. This approval demonstrates our ability to meet the highest regulatory standards in the UAE and positions us as a capable and fully compliant operator in one of the world’s most demanding aviation markets.”
