Empire Aviation continues to grow managed aircraft fleet as new Dubai facility rises

Empire Aviation Group, the Dubai-based global provider of integrated private aviation services (aircraft management, sales, charter and CAMO services) is supporting Dubai Airshow 2025 with a dedicated pavilion at the show. The company will host its aircraft owners, charter customers, partners and aviation officials during the course of the event, as regional business aviation continues to develop strongly, driven by strong economic activity which is attracting business and investment. Empire Aviation’s own investment in a new commercial facility at MBRAH (Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub) is now rising with construction due for completion in the second half of 2026.

Empire Aviation operates one of the Middle East’s most extensive managed fleets of business jets with aircraft based in global locations. The company's aircraft management division continues to grow - the fleet currently comprises around 25 aircraft with one third of these available for charter. The most recent additions to the managed fleet include a Gulfstream G700, G600, and G280; Global XRS; Airbus ACJ; and Embraer Legacy 650.

Empire Aviation holds AOCs (Air Operator Certificates) in the UAE and San Marino, and operates in the key regions for private aviation, covering the USA, Europe, India, Africa and Indonesia, in addition to the Middle East. Empire Aviation Group is also the authorised Independent Sales Representative (ISR) for Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in India.

As a global private aviation company, the Empire Aviation team of 130 specialists provides a wide range of integrated aviation services for aircraft owners and charter clients, and personalised customer services. Empire Aviation's core aircraft management services and ability to integrate all facets of private aviation sets the company apart and enables the team to deliver a rewarding and award-winning experience to aircraft owners and charter clients.

The company’s customised business models for aircraft owners deliver distinct benefits—ranging from full-service management and revenue opportunities to expert maintenance oversight and access to charter their aircraft to private jet travellers.

According to Paras P. Dhamecha, Founder and Managing Director of Empire Aviation, the business aviation sector is developing rapidly with investment in world-class infrastructure in response to the growing demand for services, as the strengthening UAE and regional economies continue to attract business and wealth – and new interest in aircraft ownership and charter.

“We see sustained international interest in all our services from various sectors, including individuals and families, corporates, and government entities. Our aim is to maximise the value and benefits of private aviation for owners, while optimising the owner’s investment in the aircraft asset and protecting its value, through our expertise in aircraft management. We also provide a personalised ownership business model and 5-star customer services. It’s all about building trust with owners who want the reassurance of entrusting their multi-million dollar assets into the expert hands of experienced managers.

“Empire Aviation works globally but our roots are in Dubai and the UAE, where we are currently developing a new corporate headquarters at the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South. It’s not just about physical infrastructure - Dubai and the UAE are also investing in the essential regulatory framework and ecosystem of partners and talent vital to supporting the vision to make Dubai the aviation capital of the world.”
