MEBA 2014, as of the closing of the exhibition hall on Tuesday, registered 44 aircraft on static display, 422 exhibitors and 7,863 visitors. The 2012 event registered 34 aircraft, 385 exhibitors and 7,549 visitors.

Comment from one exhibitor: “We see more people at EBACE than at MEBA and they’ll talk with us, but few have the authority to make a decision. At MEBA, we see fewer people, but more of them will sit down with us to negotiate a contract.”
