Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH), in partnership with Air Chateau International, has started construction of the second phase of Dubai Helipark, its Helicopter Centre.
The General Civil Aviation Authority has certified Air Chateau International to begin helicopter operations at the Dubai Helipark in 2022, allowing a large number of helicopter owners, individuals and corporations to consider leasing a parking space within the facility and guarantee easy access to other heliports.
The ceremony was attended by Tahnoon Saif, CEO of MBRAH; Dr Samir Mohammed, Chairman and Founder of Air Chateau International; Shilton Tony Irudayaraj, Co-Founder and CEO of Air Chateau; and other senior executives.
Dubai Helipark, spanning over 42,800 sqm, is adjacent to the private jets 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 parkings and cater to world-class helicopter MRO services.
The state-of-the-art helicopter centre is the largest of its kind, currently accommodating eight helicopters to facilitate transport between business centres 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.
