MEBAA Show will be bigger and better than ever

The 10th edition of the MEBAA Show is set to take place from December 10-12, 2024 in Dubai, and following a successful edition in 2022, which saw a 56 per cent increase in visitors from its previous edition, its organisers anticipate this year’s event to be even bigger with more than 10,000 visitors expected. But just what can visitors expect?

“This year’s edition of the MEBAA Show is packed with exciting new concepts,” said MEBAA spokesperson Timothy Hawes, managing director of Informa Markets.

“Besides focusing on innovation, sustainability and technology, visitors can also look forward to the return of BizAv Talks, which will gather more than 40 renowned speakers including C-level executives from Luxaviation Group, Sino Jet, Saudia Private, RoyalJet, TAG Aviation Europe, General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), and many more.”

BizAv Talks will focus on transformative dialogue across three key themes – The Next Frontier of Business Aviation, Driving a Sustainable Future, and The Business of Business Aviation – offering strategic insights into both regional and global challenges shaping the industry's future.

The event will also include a new advanced aerial mobility (AAM) pavilion and startup hub to showcase the latest technologies impacting the business aviation industry.

Hawes added: “Other exciting features for this year include the new luxury boulevard and the runway party, with Falcon the sponsor for both.

“Located amidst the stunning private jet static display, the luxury boulevard will provide a prime stage to engage with brands showcasing luxury real estate, yachting, cosmetics, watches and more.

“Meanwhile, the runway party will be at Zenon, a fine dining destination that blends Mediterranean and Asian cuisine with cutting-edge AI-driven entertainment. This iconic night of luxury and elegance is not one to miss, with unforgettable entertainment and incredible networking opportunities.”

A number of international and regional companies have already confirmed their participation as exhibitors to MEBAA, including Boeing Business Jets, Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Bombardier, Embraer, Empire Aviation, Qatar Executive, DC Aviation, Vista and Saudia Private.

“The event has consistently drawn significant global participation, reflecting the strategic importance of the region in the global business aviation landscape,” said Hawes.
