The Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) has signed a five-year strategic partnership with Dubai Airports, to be the exclusive provider of taxi services at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International (DWC).

The partnership continues the relationship between DTC and Dubai Airports and will service the growing influx of passengers and visitors at Dubai Airports, which welcomed 93 million guests across both airports in 2024, resulting in six million limousine and taxi trips in 2024.

Taxi and limousine annual trips from the airports are expected to reach over eight million by 2029, with revenues projected to reach AED 2.5 billion over the five-year period. 

DTC’s long-standing partnership with Dubai Airports began in 1997 when the Company provided taxi services at the airport with a modest fleet of just 100 taxis. Subsequently, DTC has grown into a leading mobility provider, and the number one taxi operator, by market share, in Dubai.

DTC operates a state-of-the-art airport fleet of approximately 900 taxis, including 700 dedicated airport taxis, in addition to specialised pink taxis catering to families, women, and children, as well as accessible vehicles designed to serve People of Determination. The Company’s fleet also features around 500 premium limousines, providing premium transportation services. 

CEO of Dubai Taxi Company Mansoor Alfalasi and CEO of Dubai Airports Paul Griffiths signed the agreement in the presence of senior officials.
Smart Transportation Services.

In 2024, DTC doubled its dedicated taxi fleet at Dubai Airports. This expansion aimed to support airport transportation services and boost trip numbers by 30 per cent, helping reduce waiting times and improve service speed, while reducing the reliance on having to divert our regular city fleet towards the airport.
