A Year with AirDXB: Milestones & Memories 2025

A Year with AirDXB: Our 2025 Wrap Up

Safeguarding investments. Welcoming the world.

As 2025 draws to a close, it’s clear this has been one of the most defining years in AirDXB’s journey. Not just in scale, but in substance. In a market shaped by change, conversation and recalibration, AirDXB continued to lead with experience, insight and consistency.

Since 2018, we have built more than a short let management company. We have built trust, performance and a reputation grounded in data, delivery and long-term thinking. This year reaffirmed exactly why that matters.

Strength at Scale

AirDXB remains one of Dubai’s longest-standing short let management companies, with over 2,000 properties managed and 250,000+ guests hosted since launch. In 2025 alone, we averaged 70+ new property signings per month, placing us among the highest in the market and reflecting continued owner confidence in our management.

Across our portfolio, AirDXB has now managed over AED 1 billion in assets, supported by operational depth and a team that grew by 10% this year to meet rising demand.

Performance That Outpaced the Market

In a year where many questioned Dubai Real Estate, Long Term versus Short Term Market and everything inbetween, AirDXB properties delivered results that spoke for themselves.

Occupancy across our portfolio reached 90%, significantly outperforming the 71% market average (Source: AirDNA). November 2025 marked our strongest month for owner revenue with average daily rates increased by 30% year on year.

AirDXB's portfolio recorded 12,000+ bookings this year, welcoming guests from 171 nationalities, reinforcing Dubai’s global appeal and AirDXB’s ability to attract high-quality travellers at scale.

Cancellations fell to their lowest level in our seven years in business, driven by stronger guest quality and more dependable booking platforms such as Booking.com and StayShort.com.

Leading Voices in a Changing Market

2025 was not just about operations, it was about conversation. As Dubai’s real estate and short let market evolved, AirDXB became one of its most followed voices.

The Big Short podcast surpassed 3 million views, with episodes unpacking everything from transaction slowdowns to rental pressures and market inflection points. The series sparked industry-wide discussion and reinforced AirDXB’s role not just as an operator, but as a market commentator grounded in data and reality.

Rewarding Trust

AirDXB's referral programme continued to set the benchmark, with AED 1.5 million+ paid out in 2025, making it Dubai’s leading referral initiative in the short let space. It’s a simple reflection of how we value long-term partnerships and shared success.

Recognition That Matters

With 22+ awards and recognitions, AirDXB remains one of Dubai’s most decorated short let management company. Each one reflects consistent delivery rather than momentary wins, and more announcements are still to come.

Looking Ahead

As we move into 2026, our focus remains unchanged. Protect owner returns. Elevate guest experience. Lead with clarity in a market that rewards experience over noise.

The Dubai Real Estate & Short Let Market Report – Q4 2025 is coming soon, continuing our commitment to transparency and insight.

Thank you to our owners, partners, guests and team for shaping another landmark year.

AirDXB
Building excellence since 2018.
