Private Aviation
A good VIP airport service in Dubai, Doha or Riyadh turns a long-haul arrival into a few calm minutes: a host at the aircraft door, fast-track passport control and a chauffeur waiting at the curb. Here is how to arrive privately across the Middle East, from meet-and-assist and private terminals to helicopter transfers.

At a glance
There are three levels. Meet and assist is a host who greets you at the gate or aircraft door, walks you through fast-track immigration and baggage, and hands you to your driver. A VIP terminal or lounge adds a private building or suite where formalities are handled while you wait in comfort. A private jet arrival through an FBO (fixed-base operator) skips the main terminal entirely, with customs often completed in minutes.
First and business class tickets on the Gulf carriers already include much of this: Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways offer chauffeur service in many markets and dedicated premium check-in. See our guide to the best airlines for first and business class, and for flying privately, private jet charter and FBOs and private terminals.

Meet and assist
Book at least 48 hours ahead, and through your hotel or airline when possible.
