On-demand ride to Dubai Airport, drop-off only
Heading for a flight? Book a seat from inside the service area to Dubai International Airport (DXB) and a shared, air-conditioned van picks you up at your door, for less than a taxi.
To the airport only. Citylink does not pick passengers up at DXB, because of regulatory requirements. For the journey home from the airport you will need another form of transport.
How to ride to the airport
On the way to a flight, request your ride with plenty of time to spare.
Request your ride
Set your pickup location and Dubai International Airport as your destination, and request an on-demand ride when you are ready to go.
Leave yourself a margin
The van is shared and the route serves other passengers too, so allow more time than a direct taxi would need.
Your van comes to you
No need to walk to a pickup point. The Citylink van comes directly to your selected location. Track its arrival in the app.
Be on time: 2 minutes
The driver waits 2 minutes at your pickup location, then cancels and continues. On the way to a flight, be there early.
Before you book
Citylink is a shared van, not a private transfer: it picks you up at the location you select and takes you to the airport, alongside other passengers. The app shows the fare before you confirm, and you pay cash, card or wallet.
Riding to DXB
Can I take Citylink to or from Dubai airport?
You can be dropped off at Dubai International Airport (DXB), but airport pickups are not currently offered because of regulatory requirements. For the journey out of the airport you will need another form of transport.
How do I know which van is mine?
When your booking is confirmed the app shows the van's arrival time and an image of the van with its ID displayed on it. Check the ID before you board.
How much does a ride cost?
Every area has its own pricing, so the app shows the up-to-date price for your journey when you book, before you confirm. The minimum fare is AED 7.5. If you ride regularly, the Dubai Savers subscription is AED 60 a month and takes a flat 25% off eligible rides paid by card for 30 consecutive days.
Book your ride to the airport
Booking, your pickup location, live tracking and payment all happen in the Citylink app. Download it, set your destination and book your first ride.
