MEBAA, the Middle East’s leading business aviation platform, will return to Dubai this year, offering access to the region’s private jet market.
Following a successful edition in 2022, which saw a 56% increase in visitors from its previous edition, the 2024 edition is set to feature a refreshed agenda.
The 10th edition of the MEBAA Show will take place from 10-12 December at Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai Airshow Site.
The global business jet market continues to grow and is predicted to increase from US$ 42.14 billion in 2022 to US$ 62.66 billion in 2030.
The Middle East and Africa region will be a key contributor to this growth. The private jet charter market is projected to expand from US$ 566.46 million to US$ 943.39 million between 2024 and 2029, and business aviation traffic in the Middle East is set to witness a 10% year-on-year increase.
Ali Alnaqbi, Founding and Executive Chairman of the Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association (MEBAA), said: “The business aviation industry continues to see strong demand and as a result we are witnessing substantial investment in market infrastructure and ancillary products and services, along with the addition of new aircraft.
“The MEBAA Show aims to be a leader in the development of our industry, demonstrating innovation across the sector and gathering leading minds to uncover new pathways. We are delighted to be bringing local, regional and international stakeholders from across the business and private aviation landscape to Dubai, ready to chart the way forward and collectively shape the future of our industry.”
A number of international companies have already signed up and confirmed their attendance for the MEBAA Show 2024, including Boeing, Dassault Aviation, Bombardier, Embraer, Empire Aviation, DC Aviation, Vista and Saudia Private.
The show will gather industry leaders to gain market insights, uncover future trends and address some of the most pressing challenges facing the industry. Key themes include sustainability in business aviation, exploration of emerging technologies, market trends, future of flight, managing supply chain challenges, the role of start-ups in private aviation and enhancing the customer experience, among others.
