UAE-based private jet operator Falcon Luxe will expand its service with the addition of 40 aircraft to its fleet by end of 2026, increasing the fleet size to more than 50 private jets in operation.
Falcon Luxe now operates a diversified modern private jet fleet comprising 12 aircraft. The investment and expansion of the Falcon Luxe fleet has been critical in meeting demand.
In the second quarter of 2025, a number of new aircraft will join the Flacon Luxe fleet, including the long-range Bombardier Global Express 6500 in an ultra-premium configuration, in line with the further expansion of the fleet. The new aircraft will allow offering non-stop flights of up to 12,000km connecting most of the global city pairs.
Falcon Luxe will also unveil a new premium cabin design, a bet to attract high-spending travelers to flights that can top 14 hours. The new concept is aimed at setting new industry standards on the world's longest routes. Designed with discerning travellers in mind, the new cabins promise luxury with enhanced space and comfort, allowing passengers to relax or work effortlessly on board.
Sultan Rashit Abdulla Rashit Al Shene, Founder & Chairman of Alex Group Investments, the parent company of Falcon, commented: 'We are honoured to build on the legacy of the heritage Falcon Aviation brand, originally founded by His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahayan. Today, Falcon sets a new industry standard in private aviation and supports Dubai's vision to become a global private aviation hub. It is set to become a leading private jet operator in the region, attracting more wealthy travellers to the UAE.' -

RTA launches traffic enhancement works in 40 locations

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has commenced a series of traffic improvements across 40 key locations in the emirate, scheduled for implementation between June and September 2025. The works will cover 22 major streets, nine school zones, more than five development areas, and several internal roads in Tolerance District, Al Khawaneej 2, and Nad Al Sheba. These improvements will be carried out during the summer holiday to minimise disruption to daily traffic flow while ensuring the highest safety standards at all targeted sites. These efforts form part of a broader strategy to improve traffic flow, road safety, journey times, and connectivity between residential, educational, and development areas across the city, RTA said. The next phase will include traffic enhancements at key locations, such as Jumeirah Village Circle towards Hessa Street, Ras Al Khor Road, Al Thanya Street, and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street. Additional improvements will be made to Al Meydan Street, Al Sa'ada Street, Al Asayel Street, and the junction of Al Wasl Street with Al Manara Street. As part of its commitment to improving traffic efficiency and road safety around educational institutions, RTA is undertaking roadworks at nine strategic school zone locations. This includes upgrades at the Al Warqa 1 school complex, the construction of an additional bus entrance at GEMS School in Al Warqa 3, the widening of access and exit points around The English College in Al Safa 1 on Sheikh Zayed Road, and the installation of a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing on Al Seedaf Street in Al Barsha 1. These measures aim to ease congestion during peak morning and afternoon hours. In response to the emirate's population growth and booming economy, RTA is also implementing traffic solutions at five major development zones. This includes the construction of a direct access route to Al Muhaisnah labour camps from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, upgrades to Al Mustaqbal Street (Brookfield) for improved access to newly developed residential communities, better connectivity between Al Khail Road and Al Asayel Street via Al Marabea' Street, and enhancements at Nad Al Hamar junction near Lootah Mosque. Additionally, new parking facilities will be developed to serve Zayed Educational Complex in Oud Al Muteena 1.

Dubai South Properties launches 550-unit South Square

Dubai South Properties has launched South Square, a new luxury residential development located along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, just minutes from the recently announced new terminal at Al Maktoum International Airport. The S4 Tower within the project was completely sold out within just three hours, the developer said. The project reinforces Dubai South's vision of creating integrated, people-centric communities and comes in response to strong demand from investors and end-users drawn to the area's growing appeal, it said. South Square is a community offering over 550 apartments in a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedrooms layouts. Elegantly designed with a focus on wellbeing and convenience, the community blends modern architecture with wellness-inspired amenities such as landscaped outdoor spaces, seed farms, walking trails, scenic water features, a yoga deck, multi-age fitness and leisure zones, as well as essential retail, dining outlets, and co-working spaces. Designed for families and individuals alike, South Square promotes meaningful connections between people, nature, and healthy living - delivering a residential experience that reflects the evolving expectations of today's urban residents. Prices for units start at AED1.1 million, with completion scheduled for Q4 2028. Nabil Al Kindi, CEO of Dubai South Properties, said: 'In the past few years, we have witnessed a sharp increase in demand for residential options in Dubai South, driven by its strategic location, modern infrastructure, and exceptional connectivity to the rest of the city. South Square is our response to this momentum—offering spacious homes, wellness-focused amenities, and in proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport and key roads. This project, like all our communities, is designed not just for living, but for enhancing quality of life through value-driven spaces focused on wellness and human connection.'
