Damac Group Unveils Plans for Luxury Airline “Damac Air” Targeting Elite Travel Destinations
The UAE’s renowned real estate powerhouse, Damac Group, has announced its entry into the aviation sector with a new luxury airline called Damac Air. Targeting affluent travelers seeking exclusive experiences, Damac Air will cater to high-profile destinations like Denpasar, Bali; Mahé in the Seychelles; and Papeete, Tahiti, creating a niche for luxury leisure travel from the UAE.
According to Damac’s press release, the airline aims to provide more than just flights. Damac Air plans to deliver upscale holiday packages that encompass flights, premium accommodations, and curated local excursions, creating an all-encompassing luxury travel experience.
The company is drawing comparisons to elite travel brands such as Abercrombie & Kent and Crystal AirCruises, which are known for blending luxury flights with exclusive tour packages.
While details remain sparse on operational specifics, promotional materials suggest that the airline may use a Boeing 787-8, with the aircraft’s sleek livery prominently featuring the Damac Air branding. However, Damac has yet to confirm whether this aircraft will be company-owned or chartered, nor has it provided a timeline for launch.
Founded by prominent UAE businessman Hussain Sajwani, Damac Group has a diversified portfolio spanning residential, commercial, and leisure properties across the Gulf, Middle East, United States, and the United Kingdom.
With its move into aviation, the company is set to expand its influence by bringing luxury air travel to new heights, leveraging its experience in high-end real estate to shape the future of leisure aviation.
Damac Air is expected to appeal to high-net-worth individuals seeking seamless, top-tier travel experiences to some of the world’s most exotic locations, a venture that aligns with Damac’s reputation for providing luxury and exclusivity.
