Falcon Elite achieves exceptional Growth in aircraft movements
Falcon, part of Alex Group Investment, has reported a 150% growth in aircraft movements between August 2024 and May 2025, positioning itself as one of the fastest-growing players in the region's private aviation sector.
In less than one year, Falcon Elite has transformed from a promising terminal into a dynamic, high-traffic hub for elite clientele. This performance highlights Falcon Elite's ability to anticipate and respond to key seasonal peaks, while also reflecting the trust clients place in the private terminal's exceptional services, the company said.
When Falcon Elite first debuted, it started with a modest 6.92% increase in traffic. Fast forward to May 2025, the terminal saw a remarkable 33.81% growth compared to the previous months. This increase was driven by new clients, a rise in diplomatic flights, and the start of the summer season.
Prior to that, November 2024 saw a 52.75% increase, coinciding with Dubai's high season, including major events like the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a boost in regional business traffic & holiday travel.
This growth is a result of consistently going beyond expectations and seizing every opportunity, the company said.
