Leisure and Technology Drive Charter Growth, Says Avinode
The Middle East charter market has seen slower charter growth than other parts of the world over the past two years.

A combination of rising demand for long-haul, leisure travel and easier access to business aviation through new business-to-consumer (B2C) technology are driving growth in the Middle East market, according to online charter marketplace Avinode.

Data from the Avinode Marketplace over the past 12 months shows what the company described as “a healthy increase” in both domestic and international flight requests for the Middle East region. “The market is being led by confident leisure and long-haul family travel, which is also driving an increase in heavy jets and VIP/ultra-long-range aircraft,” commented Avinode managing director Oliver King.
