MEBA10: DC Aviation beefs up regional offering

Chief executive Michael Kuhn said: “For us the show is an excellent contact platform to initiate a dialogue with potential customers. This year we are especially keen to present our new acquisition, the VVIP Airbus.”

Earlier in the year DC Aviation added three new ACJs to its fleet, and now ranks as one of the world’s largest operators of the type. The company also flies long-haul Gulfstream and Bombardier Global Express aircraft.

According to a January 2010 study by Frost & Sullivan, the Middle East represents six per cent of the global business aviation market. The firm of analysts estimates that by 2012 there will be around 700,000 high-net-worth individuals in the region.

Kuhn added: “Our international experience will also play its part in ensuring we make full use of the market’s potential.”
