Dubai departures

DWC
Al Maktoum International

A 4,500 m runway and the largest business-aviation apron in the UAE, home to DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, ExecuJet Middle East and Jetex. The default field for a full-fuel departure.

Jetex VIP terminal, DC Aviation Al-Futtaim FBO and the ExecuJet lounge
DXB
Dubai International

12 km from Downtown with a 4,000 m runway. Private operations run through the Royal Air Wing side, slot-controlled and more expensive, but the road saving is real for a Downtown or DIFC departure.

FAQ

Common questions on this route

How long is the flight from Dubai to Sri Lanka by private jet?
About 4h 30m direct on a super-midsize (Challenger 350, Citation Longitude), 4h 25m on a heavy jet, and 4h 15m on an ultra-long-range. Midsize jets do it in about 4h 55m direct with a tight fuel margin.
What does Dubai to Sri Lanka cost?
Super-midsize $48,000-65,000 one-way. Heavy jets $55,000-78,000. Ultra-long-range for continuation itineraries $85,000-115,000. Midsize (Praetor 500, Latitude) is the value option at $42,000-55,000.
Which Colombo airport should we fly into?
Bandaranaike International (CMB) for any heavy or ultra-long-range aircraft, and for the majority of super-mid and midsize movements. Ratmalana (RML) is the city airport 15 minutes from central Colombo and accepts light and midsize jets only; it is the pick when the passenger heads directly to a Colombo hotel or the E01 expressway south.
Which Dubai airport is better?
Al Maktoum (DWC). The 4,500 m runway and the deep FBO presence make it the natural full-fuel departure field, and turn-times are quicker than at DXB.
How do we get from CMB to Galle, Kandy or the safari camps?
Three options. Helicopter (Helitours or Simplifly) is fastest for Galle (25 min), Kandy (35 min), Yala (50 min) and Sigiriya. Turboprop (Cinnamon Air or FitsAir) reaches Koggala, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Jaffna. Road transfer to Galle is 90-120 minutes on the E01 expressway; to Kandy 3-4 hours.
