The Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) has expanded its taxi fleet at Dubai Airports by 100 percent, with the addition of 350 new environmentally friendly taxis, effectively doubling its airport service capacity.
The expansion aims to enhance the daily mobility of both Dubai residents and visitors and is attributed to the growing influx of passengers and visitors as well as the numerous international events taking place in the emirate.
The airport taxi service is designated exclusively for arrivals at Dubai Airports and Port Rashid. It provides passengers with round-the-clock transportation to any destination within the UAE. Customers can easily request this service, which is backed by qualified staff dedicated to assisting passengers in reaching their desired locations.
With the newly added taxis, DTC becomes one of the largest operators in the region, boasting a fleet of 5,566 vehicles and a notable increase in market share within the taxi sector to 45 percent.
Mansoor Rahma Al Falasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Company, emphasized that the decision to double the fleet of airport taxis from 350 to 700 is a strategic move that aims to promote the taxi services at the airport, and increase trips by 30 percent, thus reducing waiting times and providing quicker services to passengers. It reflects Dubai’s sophisticated and civilized image, underscoring the emirate’s commitment to continuously improving and developing its services. It also aligns with the growing demand for taxis due to the increasing passenger traffic at Dubai’s airports.
“The expansion will bolster Dubai Taxi’s operational capacity in response to the escalating growth in passenger traffic and the surging demand for taxi services at the emirate’s airports. Dubai Taxi will spare no effort to provide transportation services that adhere to the highest standards, in harmony with the emirate’s global reputation as a premier tourist destination,” Al Falasi added.
Al Falasi noted that the company offers a series of vehicles, including luxurious limousines and electric vehicles, at Dubai airports. All vehicles are meticulously regulated and monitored by Dubai Taxi Company’s control centers, ensuring the safety and efficiency of transportation operations for passengers.
