MEBAA Show 2024 set to unveil latest advancements for business aviation

Following a successful edition in 2022, which saw a remarkable 56% increase in visitors from its previous edition, the 2024 edition is all set to feature a refreshed agenda packed with new concepts.

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 . While persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2022 helped fuel growth, the prominence of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) – particularly in large economies such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia – and growing aviation emission rules continue to influence the market.

Ali Alnaqbi, founding and executive chairman of the Middle East & 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.”
