The prolific growth of the Middle East market for business aviation should be clearly apparent at the second Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) show this month. The three-day event will be staged at Dubai’s Airport Expo Center from November 16 to 18 and is projected to be more than twice the size of the first full MEBA show, held in January last year.

In November 2005, a one-day MEBA conference was held on the eve of that year’s Dubai Air Show; the success of this event prompted the launch of a dedicated business aviation show for the Middle East. MEBA will now be staged in alternate years from the biennial Dubai Air Show.
