As the MEBAA Show makes its triumphant return after a Covid-induced pause, business aviation activity in the Middle East region has been riding the same post-pandemic surge seen in other regions, according to World Fuel Services (Booth 1120).

“The Middle East came out of Covid more quickly than Europe,” said James Hardacre, the U.S.-based company’s v-p of business aviation sales for Europe and the Middle East. “It was quicker to start the bounce [back] and it looks like the bounce is lasting longer in the Middle East when I compare it to Europe at least.”
