With its new and unique features, the event will reassess the dynamics of the industry, offer a new perspective and provide a range of opportunities aimed at bringing the regional business and private aviation community together again.
2021 was marked as the busiest year for global business aviation. At the same time, the Middle East region showed one of the highest growth rates for business jets, especially in the United Arab Emirates, where it grew by 73% compared to 2019. The business aviation market in the Middle East maintained its growth rate in 2022, with the number of flights increased by 47% in May compared to the same period in 2019.
Mohammad Al Husari, co-owner, founder and executive president of UAS International Trip Support, said the industry’s opportunities lie in increasing customer value, which means improving efficiency. The air charter and cargo markets look particularly promising in the future, and as always, due to a pandemic, political turmoil or anything else, customers continue to demand the efficiency, speed and safety that business aviation provides.
As part of the MEBAA Show, many new formats of work are planned. Thus, Biz Av Talks will become an interactive gathering for the exchange of knowledge and experience with industry leaders and specialists. The exhibition hall sessions are designed to provide practical insights and advice on how the private aviation supply chain can overcome challenges and meet the demands of the future.
Ali Ahmed Alnaqbi, founder and executive chairman of MEBAA, noted that the association places great emphasis on networking, discussing industry trends and participating in the upcoming MEBAA Show. “This is key to building partnerships and sharing knowledge and experiences. The exhibition will contribute to the rapid growth of the business aviation industry, and we are pleased to see great interest from major business aviation companies in the MEBAA Show 2022, which will unite to take the business aviation sector to the next level.
Paras Damecha, Managing Director of Empire Aviation Group, added: Business aviation is about people, so we look forward to meeting our customers, partners and friends in the industry face-to-face to move the industry forward. “The future of the sector looks very optimistic in the Middle East and international markets as the industry develops and develops rapidly.”
Today’s exhibitors value quality over quantity and the exhibition will provide a dedicated platform for world-class companies in the business aviation sector to showcase the latest innovations. Thus, the Future Focus Zone will be presented at the exhibition, where the future of business aviation will be demonstrated.
