Dubai OMDB March 2026 Business Jet Movements Collapse from 148 to Just 4 (-97.3%), International Operators Including VistaJet Almost Completely Evacuated — Dubai's Brand Equity as a Global Business Jet Hub Faces Potentially Irreversible Damage

AviGo data shows OMDB recorded only 4 business jet movements during March 1–24, 2026 (Falcon 900LX 2 + GIV-SP 1), a 97.3% collapse from the 2025 comparable period of 148. In 2025, OMDB was dominated by VistaJet (36), Exec Jet Mgmt (9), and Emirates Executive (4); in 2026 these operators have almost entirely disappeared. Concurrently, Middle East parked business jets dropped from 164 to 82 (WingX March 12 data), with aircraft mass-migrating to Turkey and Europe. OMDB's collapse is not merely a short-term conflict effect — once operators reconfigure bases and route networks, traffic repatriation will experience significant lag. The absence of local operators like Emirates Executive is particularly noteworthy. Confidence: ★★★ (AviGo + KG dual verification).
