【UAE Wealthy Flee in Mass, Private Jet Costs Surge Past $200,000】
As the war spreads to the wealthy Gulf countries, and with Trump stating that the attack on Iran will continue for 4 to 5 weeks, even longer, the rich people in the UAE are getting restless. It is reported that the UAE's billionaires and wealthy travelers are rushing to leave, and the demand for private jets and cars has increased significantly.
According to a report by the U.S. "Business Insider," due to the war, the flights at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports, which were once very busy, are now very limited, forcing people to seek alternative ways out. One of these ways is to cross the border and board flights from relatively safer neighboring countries.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi have always been regarded as "places of luxury and indulgence," where many top billionaires from around the world gather. Those who come here for tourism are mostly wealthy people. However, now that the war has spread, Iranian drones have frequently attacked, even landing on the Palm Island, which has forced people to leave immediately. It is reported that they are willing to spend huge sums of money to hire private jet flights and special car services, waiting for several hours to cross the border.
The U.S. media stated: Currently, these wealthy people mainly leave by crossing into neighboring countries such as Oman and Saudi Arabia. Generally, they need to drive for several hours to reach the airports in neighboring countries. However, the most expensive option is private jets, because so many people want to leave.
A senior executive of a luxury travel company said: Now everyone is queuing up to board the plane. The cost of private jets has already reached $200,000, and the price of flights to Europe is currently between $175,000 and $235,000. However, most people leaving are heading to Istanbul, Cairo, and Maldives.
