It’s Sunday afternoon and Adel Mardini is moving around the reception area of a VIP terminal at Dubai World Central, attending to the needs of his well-heeled clients.
With its plush lounges, secluded relaxation zones and fully stocked entertainment area, the Jetex Flight Support terminal, which caters exclusively to private jet travellers, feels more like a five-star hotel reception than an airport building.
“It’s a busy day today,” Mardini tells me, settling down on a sofa as a group of children play table tennis nearby. “And it’s been like this for the past few months.” The Jetex VIP Terminal at Dubai World Central. Courtesy Chris Whiteoak / The National
