Private jet emissions in Dubai up 319% last week, what’s driving it?

Came across some recent data showing private jet emissions in Dubai hitting around 1,068 tonnes of CO2 this week, roughly a 319% increased compared to baseline. What stood out more was that activity over the same period is also about 252% year-over-year.
Quite curious what people think might be driving this kind of shift? Events or something more structural in the region?

That absolute figure sounds way too low, what is the source? For comparison, a fully loaded B777 flying a single rotation between Europe and China emits in the ballpark of 500 tonnes of CO2.

Agreed that does sound low, although it might depend on how OP's data is calculated. If it's just LTO (landing and takeoff cycle) that only accounts for emissions in the vicinity of the airport.
Even so, it does sound suspiciously low for a full week

Aero Friedrichshafen took place, maybe they all went to look for newer private jets in their private jets?

It is coming up to summer and temperatures become unbearable; those that are able to leave the sandpit and summer over in cooler climates.
