UAE investment group Tariq Al Futtaim this week confirmed plans to build several hangars for private aircraft in the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub at Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW). Announcing the development yesterday at the Dubai Airshow, the company said the new facilities will be managed by aircraft management and charter group Empire Aviation.

The project is being managed by Jet Park Investment, which is a subsidiary of Tariq Al Futtaim, a privately owned venture focused on real estate, technology, energy, education, and mobility. Project partners did not specify how many hangars will be built, what size they will be, or when they will be ready for use, but did confirm that ground support and light maintenance will be available for aircraft.
