Dragonpass International, the world’s leading digital airport ecosystem platform, is reshaping the travel experience across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with an unprecedented surge in customer adoption and regional expansion. The company now serves over 2.7 million customers across the GCC, driven by a 100% year-on-year shift from analog to digital services.

Aligned with transformative national visions like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s Urban Plan 2040, Dragonpass is delivering on key regional priorities—smart infrastructure, seamless mobility, and enhanced quality of life. The platform’s tech-first, customer-centric approach reflects the region’s growing demand for frictionless, premium, and personalized travel experiences.

A Tailored Approach to GCC Growth

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, Dragonpass has partnered with local organizations to co-create market-specific solutions that reflect cultural nuances and consumer preferences unique to each GCC country. This localized agility has propelled the company to the forefront of the region’s rapidly evolving travel landscape.

“The GCC is a strategic growth market for us, home to highly discerning travelers who expect seamless, premium, and personalized journeys,” said Andrew Harrison-Chinn, Chief Marketing Officer at Dragonpass.
“By co-creating with forward-thinking partners and investing in technology-led solutions, we’re helping shape a smarter, more elevated travel ecosystem across the region.”

Beyond Lounges: A Lifestyle Ecosystem

Dragonpass’s value proposition extends far beyond traditional airport lounges. Its unified platform integrates:

• 1,400+ airport lounges

• 161 Fast Track lanes

• 516 premium dining benefits

• 2,150+ curated travel experiences

• New lifestyle and wellness modules, offering access to 1,000+ fitness and wellness locations across 50 global cities

This expansion meets the increasing regional demand for on-the-go holistic wellbeing, a trend evident among GCC travelers seeking both luxury and balance.

Tech-Driven Excellence

At the core of Dragonpass’s growth is its advanced digital platform, which consolidates travel perks and loyalty benefits into a seamless, personalized experience. Strategic alliances with leading Middle East-based blue-chip companies have further enabled the company to deliver highly relevant and exclusive offerings.

With over 40 million users worldwide, Dragonpass operates regional offices across the UAE, Singapore, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, and China, complementing its UK-based global hub. This global footprint, combined with local expertise, allows Dragonpass to set new global standards for travel convenience and lifestyle integration.

As international travel in the GCC continues to boom—Saudi Arabia hosting 30 million visitors and UAE airports handling 48 million international arrivals in the past year—Dragonpass stands at the forefront of a new era of smart, sustainable, and premium travel experiences.
