1win Arranges Private Charter Flights for VIP Clients Leaving the UAE Amid Aviation Disruptions

1win arranges private charters to evacuate VIP clients from UAE after drone strike disrupts Gulf aviation

Duabu, United Arab Emirates — March 8, 2026 — Crypto-focused gaming platform 1win organised private charter flights to evacuate VIP clients stranded in the UAE after aviation disruption followed reports of a drone strike near Dubai International Airport. The company said it coordinated departures from airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to destinations across Latin America, Asia and the CIS region, and that its charter programme remains ongoing with additional aircraft arranged as client needs arise.

“Safety first,” the Owner of 1win commented on X. “When airports in Dubai closed, and many were stranded, not knowing how to get out, in less than a day, we organized the evacuation of our VIP clients on all private jets, so they could return home safely without waiting for the situation to stabilize. We are here to support you in any situation.”

Context and operational details

Commercial aviation in the Gulf was heavily disrupted after reports of a drone strike near Dubai International Airport. Emirates temporarily suspended flights to and from Dubai International Airport and urged passengers not to travel to the airport until the security situation stabilised. Several international routes were cancelled in the coming weeks as airlines reassessed operational risk.

In response, 1win said it coordinated with several international charter operators to provide private aviation options for VIP clients who were unable or unwilling to rely on disrupted commercial services. The initiative prioritised direct departures from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to markets where 1win has customer bases and operations.

• Primary departure points: Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports
• Destination regions served: Latin America, Asia, CIS
• Partners: several international charter operators (1win did not disclose operator names)
• Status: charter programme ongoing; additional aircraft arranged according to client travel needs

Industry reporting cited in the company’s release and wider aviation coverage noted a sharp surge in demand for business aviation in the UAE, with a significant spike in private jet charters and sharply rising prices for departures from Dubai as travellers sought alternatives to commercial flights during the crisis.

Outlook

1win — founded in 2016 and operating across Asia, Latin America and Africa — framed the operation as a client-safety measure amid continuing uncertainty for commercial carriers. The company has expanded its global profile in recent years through brand partnerships: actor Johnny Sins joined as a brand ambassador in 2024, MMA star Jon Jones became a global ambassador in 2025, and American wrestler and mixed martial artist Gable Steveson joined the 1win global ambassador team earlier in 2026.

1win’s press contact listed in the release is press@1win.pro. The company said it will continue to arrange private flights for VIP clients as required while commercial aviation routes remain under review by carriers operating in and out of the UAE.
