Dubai has a habit of thinking big, and once again, it’s proving the point. The Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub (MBRAH) at Dubai South has just unveiled plans for its VIP Terminal Boulevard, a sleek new development designed to keep up with the region’s surging demand for aviation services.
Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub Unveils VIP Terminal Boulevard In Dubai
To put things into perspective, this boulevard isn’t just a strip of tarmac with a few buildings. We’re talking 769 metres of development, lined with 16 buildings, retail outlets, and top-tier facilities, all spread across a whopping 204,000 square metres. If you picture it as an airport red-carpet moment stretched into an entire district, you’re not far off.
Why This Boulevard Matters
Let’s face it, Dubai doesn’t do “ordinary.” The VIP Terminal Boulevard is no exception. It’s not just for private jet owners to glide in style, although, truth be told, that’s definitely part of it. The project will also cater to the wider aviation ecosystem, giving space to everything from private jet operators and airlines to maintenance providers and aviation retailers.
Construction is already underway on Aviation One, the boulevard’s six-storey anchor building. With its contemporary design and functional layouts, it sets the tone for what the rest of the boulevard will look like: sleek, purposeful, and distinctly Dubai.
A New Chapter For Dubai’s Aviation Scene Lies Ahead
MBRAH has said the boulevard will be rolled out in phases, starting in 2026. That’s not too far off in development terms, and considering Dubai’s track record for completing mega-projects, don’t be surprised if this boulevard becomes a fully fledged hub before you’ve had a chance to update your passport.
The boulevard also highlights MBRAH’s role as more than just another free zone. This is where airlines, MROs (that’s maintenance, repair and overhaul providers), training academies, and private jet operators already come together. Adding a boulevard packed with facilities is the next logical step in making Dubai South a self-sustained aviation city.
Balancing Function With Prestige
To be fair, many aviation hubs around the world focus purely on function: hangars, runways, and cold steel warehouses. What MBRAH is doing here feels a little different. The VIP Terminal Boulevard is designed to offer prestige as much as practicality, weaving in retail spaces and hospitality-style services so the business of aviation feels less transactional and more like an experience.
Come on, we all know Dubai thrives on blending efficiency with luxury. This boulevard is another reminder of how the emirate continues to rewrite the playbook on how aviation infrastructure can look and feel.

The Bigger Picture
The announcement fits neatly into Dubai’s broader aviation vision. With Dubai International Airport already one of the busiest in the world and Al Maktoum International Airport steadily expanding, MBRAH is carving out its space as the high-end, specialised wing of the story.
So, whether you’re a private jet operator looking for hangar space, an aviation retailer seeking a premium address, or simply someone who likes to keep tabs on Dubai’s ever-expanding skyline, the VIP Terminal Boulevard is one to watch.
Final Word
Dubai has never hidden its ambition to become the beating heart of global aviation. With the launch of VIP Terminal Boulevard in Dubai, MBRAH is pushing that ambition one step further. Not just bigger. Smarter, sleeker, and unmistakably Dubai.
