MEBAA 2024 to highlight advanced air mobility and industry innovation
The stage is set for the 10th edition of the MEBAA Show, the Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association’s flagship event, which will take place from 10-12 December 2024 at Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International Airport.
During a virtual press conference held last week, Ali Ahmed Alnaqbi, Founding and Executive Chairman of MEBAA shared exciting updates on the show’s new features and record-breaking attendance.
“With just a few weeks to go, this year’s MEBAA Show marks a key opportunity to reflect on the remarkable evolution of the industry since the show’s inception almost two decades ago,” said Alnaqbi.
He added, “It will also set the stage for the future, acting as a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas that drive the industry forward.”
Furthermore, Alnaqbi emphasised the continued growth of the business aviation sector, driven by rising demand for flexible travel solutions and advancements in technology.
“In our region, the influx of high-net-worth individuals, its strategic location, investments in infrastructure, and rising number of business jet movements and deliveries is helping the Middle East maintain its position as one of the fastest-growing markets globally,” he said.
“Through the MEBAA Show, we are proud to provide a platform that supports this growth, offering strategic insights, fostering meaningful connections, and showcasing the latest aircraft, products, and solutions.”
