Bolt, the global shared mobility platform, has announced that it will be incorporating approximately 700 vehicles from the Dubai Taxi Company’s dedicated airport fleet into its app. This initiative aims to significantly enhance convenience for travelers arriving at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), which are recognized as some of the busiest airports worldwide.
The addition of these airport taxis is a direct response to the surge in traveler numbers to Dubai. By allowing users to book taxis seamlessly through the Bolt app, it ensures a smoother and more reliable travel experience from the onset. This step emphasizes Bolt’s commitment to providing innovative and user-friendly transportation options tailored for visitors.

This initiative aligns with the Roads and Transport Authority’s (RTA) goal to transition 80% of taxi bookings to online platforms in the near future. Additionally, it strengthens the Dubai Taxi Company’s position as a key player in modern urban mobility and supports its leadership in the transportation sector.
