Why Chartsec?
Chartsec Services Ltd is a Manchester-based, SIA-approved security firm with a permanent office in Dubai’s Barsha Heights. Our Managing Director, Des Steel, is a former SAS operative and Gulf War veteran with over 30 years of experience operating in the region. He knows the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the surrounding Gulf states better than almost anyone.
While airlines cancel flights and private jet brokers charge up to £150,000, Des and the Chartsec team have been quietly, efficiently — and affordably — getting people home since the crisis began.
This is not a call centre. This is personal, one-to-one support from people who know the ground.
What We Offer
Air Ticket Booking Assistance
Our professional Travel Management team has access to specialist booking software that can find available airline seats that standard booking platforms simply miss. We’ll identify the best routes and departure points — whether that’s Dubai, Muscat, Riyadh or beyond — and get you booked on the next available flight.

The cost?
Less than a weekend shop at Waitrose.
We are not here to profiteer. We charge a fair commission and a reasonable day rate — because our priority is getting you home safely, not making a fortune from your misfortune.

Additional Evacuation Support
We understand that emergency evacuations often involve more than just transport. Our team can assist individuals and families who need to relocate quickly from Dubai or the UAE, including arrangements for those travelling with their pets and support with pet passport documentation where required. For larger groups, we can also organise private jet charters for groups of 14 or more passengers, ensuring a fast, secure, and discreet evacuation when commercial travel is not suitable. Our specialists manage the coordination to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
