Dubai is the geographic and commercial centre of global private aviation. Within a 7-hour flight of Dubai sits two-thirds of the world's population — and more UHNWI than any comparable radius on earth. For Enthral Aviation, the UAE is not just a destination — it is the primary international hub connecting India to Europe, Africa, the Indian Ocean, and beyond. Our India–UAE charter operations run daily, across every Indian major city, at every aircraft category from super midsize to ultra-long-range.

With 3.5 million Indians in the UAE, the India–Dubai corridor is the world's most active NRI private aviation route. UHNW Indian families use private jet for weddings, festivals, medical travel and business engagements between Dubai and India.
Dubai's property market attracts Indian, British, Russian, Chinese and Gulf UHNWI investors. Property viewings, off-plan launches, and closing meetings drive significant private aviation between Dubai and global origin markets.
Dubai's DIFC and Abu Dhabi's ADGM are global financial hubs. Family office principals, fund managers and private bankers from London, Zurich, Singapore and Mumbai use private aviation to service their Dubai relationships.
Dubai is both a destination and a transit hub for ultra-luxury leisure. Maldives, Seychelles, Mykonos, Saint-Tropez, and the Italian Riviera are all reached easily from Dubai on private jets — often on the same aircraft, repositioned between legs.
The UAE hosts extensive diplomatic and governmental aviation activity. Abu Dhabi's Al Bateen airport is specifically positioned for this sector, with discreet handling and complete privacy for official travel.
Gulf energy operations — oil, gas, and increasingly renewable energy — generate significant private aviation between Dubai/Abu Dhabi and African, South Asian, and European energy hubs. Executive travel and inspection trips are common use cases.
