The Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) has started the construction of the second phase of Dubai Helipark, its Helicopter Center, 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 Mr. Tahnoon Saif, CEO of MBRAH, Dr. Samir Mohammed, Chairman and Founder of Air Chateau International, Mr. Shilton Tony Irudayaraj, Co-Founder and CEO of Air Chateau, and other senior executives.
Dubai Helipark, spanning over 42,800 square meters, is adjacent to the private jet 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 parking and cater to world-class helicopter MRO services.
The state-of-the-art helicopter center is the largest of its kind, currently accommodating eight helicopters to facilitate transport between business centers and tourist destinations across the UAE, it will also feature a VIP lounge to meet and greet and brief potential ultra-high-net-worth individuals arriving at the VIP Terminal. In addition to offering the best amenities for UHNWIs arriving by their private jets, Air Chateau International will also provide MRO services and a showroom for the latest helicopters showcased by world-leading manufacturers.
