The UAE is officially entering a new era of air mobility.
By the opening of the Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in Ras Al Khaimah, the first vertiport will begin operating, becoming part of a future inter-emirate air taxi network.
Key project facts

Already under construction:
• Dubai International Airport (DXB)
• Dubai Marina
Opening in 2026:
• Palm Jumeirah
• Dubai Mall
Flight time:
DXB → Al Marjan Island: only 15 minutes

Q1 2027 will mark a new chapter in the region’s transport history
These projects reshape mobility norms by:
