Dubai Royal Air Wing (otherwise simply known as the "Royal Airwing"[1]) is the paramilitary airline of the government of the United Arab Emirates.

Dubai Royal Air Wing, located on the southeast side of Dubai International Airport (DXB), consists of a VIP terminal dedicated to the UAE Royal family and special interest flights[1] and is primarily used by the Emir of Dubai, the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, members of the Dubai Royal family, as well as other influential government officials based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The airline provided Emirates with their first aircraft but the two are not affiliated beyond both having ties with the government of Dubai.
