The Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) is confident that 2021 Dubai Airshow, the first major international aviation show calendar event to take place in well over a year, will presage a return to form for the region’s business aviation community. In fact, the sector has a strong showing in terms of traffic volumes over recent quarters due, in part, to the dearth of scheduled flights available in the Gulf.

“Dubai Airshow is a big show,” founding and executive chairman, Ali Alnaqbi, told AIN in an pre-show interview. “Business aviation is going to be a strong presence.”
