“We want to ensure that we provide the ultimate holiday experience, and experiencing Dubai by seaplane fits with the high level of service and activities we will offer,” said Kleindienst Group CEO Josef Kleindienst.

“We greatly look forward to working with Seawings going forward, and I am confident that together we will provide our guests, from both internationally and in the GCC, with the most unique possible trip to Dubai.”

THOE will be made up of six stunning man-made islands, each capturing a different facet of Europe’s character. Phase One of construction is currently underway.

This partnership with Seawings comes on top of agreements signed with Dubai’s RTA, which will offer water taxis and ferries, and with Ultimate Charter which will provide exclusive access to luxury yachts and other boats.

Seawings CEO Stuart Wheeler said: “The Heart of Europe hospitality development is the perfect complement to Seawings and this partnership offers prospective investors in Dubai and Seawings passengers a completely unique way to experience The World as well as gain a much larger understanding of the vision that has been created for Dubai.

“The addition to the Seawings seaplane service provides The Heart of Europe with another element of romance and a departure from the ordinary. We are exceptionally delighted to be involved at the ground breaking stages of this future UAE icon.”
