Up to 26 passengers when luggage is limited.
Airport Groups

Right-Sized Group Transport
Why a 26 seater works for many Dubai groups
A 26 seater bus balances passenger capacity, operating cost and vehicle size. It is easier to coordinate than several vans and more economical than hiring a larger coach when the group is below 26 passengers.
This size is especially useful for companies, schools, hotels, families, event organisers and tour operators.
