Private Jet Dubai to Milan

## Route Overview The Dubai–Milan corridor links one of the world's fastest-growing aviation hubs with Italy's premier commercial and creative capital. Operating from Dubai International (DXB/OMDB) or Al Maktoum (DWC/OMDW), private jets arrive into Milan Malpensa (MXP/LIMC) for heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft, or Milan Linate (LIN/LIML) — just 8 km from Piazza del Duomo — for lighter jets. At 5 hours 55 minutes block-to-block, the route sits firmly in the mid-to-long-range sector, demanding midsize or larger aircraft for non-stop operation. ## Departure: Dubai Airports **Dubai International Airport (DXB / OMDB)** is the primary gateway for private aviation on this corridor, located 5 km from Downtown Dubai and 15 km from the DIFC financial district. Three specialist FBOs serve private clients: ExecuJet Aviation Group, Jet Aviation Dubai, and DC Aviation Al Futtaim, all offering dedicated lounges, fast-track immigration, and airside catering. The airport operates 24/7; departure processing at the FBO is typically completed in under 30 minutes. The main parallel runways measure 4,000 m and 4,447 m, fully capable of accommodating all ultra-long-range jets including the Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700. **Al Maktoum International (DWC / OMDW)**, 37 km south of Dubai Marina and adjacent to the Jebel Ali Free Zone, offers a quieter, slot-free alternative. ExecuJet operates an FBO here and the 4,500 m runway accommodates the entire heavy and ULRJ fleet. DWC is preferred for VVIP movements requiring maximum discretion, and is particularly convenient for travellers based in Abu Dhabi's orbit. ## Arrival: Milan Airports **Milan Malpensa International (MXP / LIMC)** handles the large majority of private jet heavy and ultra-long-range arrivals for the city. Located 50 km northwest of Milan's city centre, Malpensa offers two runways (3,920 m and 3,500 m) and a purpose-built VIP terminal operated by Aviapartner. Italian customs and immigration operate 24 hours with advance notice. Helicopter transfer to Piazza del Duomo takes approximately 15 minutes; private car to central Milan requires 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. A limousine service to Via Montenapoleone (fashion district) and Porta Nuova (business district) can be pre-arranged through any FBO. **Milan Linate (LIN / LIML)**, 8 km east of the city centre, is the preferred airport for Fashion Week attendees, luxury retail executives, and business travellers prioritising transfer speed. Its single 2,442 m runway limits operations to light jets and lighter midsize aircraft — the Phenom 300E, Citation Latitude, Learjet 75 Liberty and similar types; heavy jets and ULRJs are restricted to Malpensa. Linate operates under Level 2 slot coordination between 06:00 and 22:00 local time, and FBO handling is provided by Alisea and Swissport. ## Aircraft Categories for Dubai–Milan ### Light Jets (2–6 passengers) — From €45,000 At 4,707 km, this sector sits at the operational ceiling of the most capable light jets. The Phenom 300E and Citation XLS+ can complete the route with one refuelling stop (typically Bahrain, Kuwait or Antalya), adding 35–45 minutes to total travel time. Non-stop operation in this category requires enhanced-range variants and is weather-dependent. ### Midsize Jets (6–8 passengers) — From €63,000 The Hawker 900XP, Citation XL/XLS, Learjet 75 Liberty, and Embraer Praetor 500 deliver non-stop range with six passengers and standard baggage. Stand-up cabin heights of 1.47–1.55 m, full refreshment galleys, and in-cabin Wi-Fi are standard. These aircraft represent the optimal price-to-comfort ratio for business delegations of four to six travellers. ### Heavy Jets (8–12 passengers) — From €87,000 The Challenger 350, Falcon 2000LXS, Gulfstream G450, and Embraer Legacy 650 are the sweet-spot category for the Dubai–Milan route. All complete the sector non-stop with full fuel reserves, offer stand-up cabin heights of 1.8–1.9 m, fully equipped forward galleys, and separate aft lavatories. The Falcon 2000LXS and Gulfstream G450 are particularly popular for Italian fashion-house executives and Gulf family travellers given their range, cruise speed, and refined cabin appointments. ### Ultra-Long Range Jets (10–18 passengers) — From €119,000 For maximum comfort and complete privacy, the Global 6000, Gulfstream G650ER, Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global 7500 offer multi-zone cabin configurations, individual flatbed seating, satellite broadband, en-suite washrooms, and dedicated crew rest compartments. The Global 7500 accommodates up to 18 passengers and completes Dubai–Milan non-stop with fuel reserves for diversion to Geneva, Zurich, or Frankfurt if required. ## Pricing All prices below are indicative, anchored on comparable published routes and current market data: | Category | Typical Aircraft | Passengers | From (one-way) | |-------------------|----------------------|------------|----------------| | Light jet | Phenom 300E | 2–6 | €45,000 | | Midsize jet | Hawker 900XP | 6–8 | €63,000 | | Heavy jet | Challenger 350 | 8–12 | €87,000 | | Ultra-long range | Global 6000 | 10–18 | €119,000 | Prices are subject to market conditions, fuel surcharges, handling fees (DXB peak-period fees carry a premium), navigation costs across Iranian and Turkish airspace, and minimum booking conditions. Flyius provides all-inclusive quotes with no hidden fees. ## Seasonality and Demand Peaks The Dubai–Milan route concentrates demand around four annual peaks: - **Milan Fashion Weeks** (February and September–October): Malpensa and Linate reach full saturation; booking lead times of 4–6 weeks are strongly recommended, especially for heavy and ultra-long-range jets. - **Salone del Mobile / Milan Design Week** (April): the single highest annual spike in private jet movements through Malpensa, driven by global luxury brands, interior designers, and high-net-worth collectors. - **Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix** (September, Monza): demand often overlaps with Fashion Week, making availability exceptionally constrained. - **Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha** (calendar-dependent, typically March–April and June–July): peak outbound private jet volume from Dubai to European fashion capitals, with Milan consistently in the top three destinations. Off-peak windows — November through January and June — offer the best aircraft availability and pricing, with typical savings of 15–25% versus peak periods. ## Environmental Footprint and SAF CO₂ emissions on the 4,707 km Dubai–Milan route: | Category | CO₂ (kg) | |-------------------|----------| | Light jet | 11,297 | | Midsize jet | 14,592 | | Heavy jet | 19,769 | | Ultra-long range | 26,359 | Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is available at Dubai International (DXB) and Milan Malpensa (MXP) through ISCC-certified uplift providers.
