Movements are the takeoffs and landings at Dubai International Airport that the receiver networks CatchFlights uses saw in the 30 days up to 8 October 2026. Where no receiver covers the runway, movements are missed, so the real numbers are higher and differ from airport to airport; the mix of types holds up better than the totals.
Catch them yourself. At Dubai, every one of these types is only a catch away: CatchFlights shows the aircraft flying near you on a radar and adds each one you catch to your collection. Explore CatchFlights.
