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.

Iran Reopens Central And Western Airspace To International Transit Flights After Israel Ceasefire
Iran has reopened its central and western airspace to international transit flights, state-run Nour News reported on Saturday. The move comes days after a ceasefire was reached in the conflict between Iran and Israel, which had severely disrupted regional air traffic and prompted many international airlines to avoid Iranian airspace. Tehran had shut its skies on June 13, following a large-scale bombing campaign by Israel. The closure caused widespread flight diversions across the Middle East. Despite Iran's decision to reopen its airspace, Dubai-based Emirates airline announced on Saturday that it would extend the suspension of its flights to and from Tehran until July 5, citing continued uncertainty in the region. The airline had already faced disruptions earlier in the week, rerouting some flights on June 23 as a precaution. However, Emirates confirmed that its services to Baghdad and Basra in Iraq will resume as scheduled on July 1 and 2, respectively. The recent escalation between Iran and Israel in mid-June led to heightened tensions and intermittent air travel disruptions across the Middle East. While the ceasefire has eased some restrictions, airlines continue to operate with caution in the region.
