The Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) will offer new guidance on Emergency Response Planning (ERP) aimed specifically at the Middle East, as well as an update on the Middle East Business Aviation Insurance Scheme (MAIS), at a series of seminars and workshops during the Dubai Airshow this week.
MEBAA will also host its General Assembly on Tuesday, November 19, with founding chairman Ali Al Naqbi updating the association’s 215 members on MEBAA’s activities during the year. He will also outline plans for 2014, including the MEBA 2014 event in December. 
MEBAA will also hold a workshop on the afternoon of 19th to update and register new members seeking coverage under MAIS. Since its launch last year at MEBA 2012, the MAIS product has grown to include seven MEBAA members insuring a fleet of more than 55 aircraft valued at a total of $1 billion. 
“We have witnessed the Dubai Airshow’s continued growth since its inception an through MEBAA’s diligent work in the field, I’m pleased to see business aviation has followed suit,” Al Naqbi said. “At this year’s air show we have developed a programme that we hope the attending business aviation community and our members will gain from.”
