 The fourth Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) show takes place from 7 to 9 December 2010 in Dubai, amid recent upbeat predictions for the future of the corporate and business jet market in the region.
Some 450 business aircraft are currently operating in the Middle East region and the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA), with more than 130 members, is an active champion of the industry.
Alison Weller, Director of MEBA organizer, F&E Aerospace, expressed optimism for the future of business aviation in the region. "The Middle East Business Aviation Association has predicted a nearly 20 per cent increase in business jet owners over the next four years, creating a US$1 billion industry.
"That is serious money and we are determined that our upcoming Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) show in December 2010 will be the platform for the expansion of that market and we are looking forward to significant deals being made."
The F&E Aerospace team are currently booking space at the Dubai Airshow for the second showing of MEBA in Dubai in December 2010.
Organized on behalf of the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA), the third show in the series in November 2008 attracted some 250 exhibitors from 30 countries and over 5,500 visitors, closing with more than US$1.5billion worth of deals struck.
