Seven Years of AirDXB: Redefining Short Let Management in Dubai

When AirDXB opened its doors in 2018, it began with a vision from Founder and CEO Gregory Lewis to transform how short let management and property management in Dubai could be experienced by both owners and guests. Seven years later, that vision has evolved into an award-winning powerhouse with a team of more than 250 experienced professionals from 20 nationalities worldwide, each bringing a breath of knowledge, culture and perspective. With 60% of senior leadership positions held by women and a strong balance across every level, AirDXB reflects the diversity and ambition of Dubai and has earned the company its reputation as one of the most trusted names in the industry.

AirDXB Founder's Vision

“When I first started AirDXB, it was about creating a service that investors could truly rely on,” says Gregory Lewis. “Dubai was already a global destination, but short let management didn’t reflect the city’s scale or potential. We wanted to enhance the experience for both guests and property owners, and we have stayed true to that mission every step of the way.”
