Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) has signed a five-year strategic partnership with Dubai Airports to become the exclusive provider of taxi services at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC).
The agreement reinforces DTC’s position as the leading provider of premium mobility services in Dubai.
The partnership underscores a long-standing relationship between DTC and Dubai Airports to accommodate the growing number of passengers.
In 2024, Dubai Airports welcomed 93 million guests across DXB and DWC, resulting in six million limousine and taxi trips.
Annual trips are projected to exceed eight million by 2029, with revenues expected to reach Dhs2.5bn over the five years.
DTC’s collaboration with Dubai Airports began in 1997 with a fleet of just 100 taxis.
Over the years, the company has grown into Dubai’s largest taxi operator.
Currently, it operates approximately 900 airport taxis, including 700 dedicated airport taxis, pink taxis catering to women and families, and accessible vehicles for People of Determination. The fleet also includes around 500 premium limousines.
