The 2022 MEBAA show drew to a close on Thursday afternoon in Dubai, with host Middle East and North African Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) calling the event a success. According to MEBAA, the biennial show drew attendees from 95 countries across the three days, with an increase in international attendees compared to the previous one in 2018 (the 2020 event was canceled due to the pandemic). More than 100 exhibitors connected with attendees while showcasing their latest innovations, technologies, aircraft, and solutions.

“This has been a remarkable MEBAA show and it has been incredible to see industry leaders come together to drive real change for the future of business aviation,” said MEBAA founding and executive chairman Ali Ahmed Alnaqbi. “At MEBAA we also want to empower the future leaders, and it was fantastic to welcome students who have an interest in our sector and provide them with the platform to network with industry players and learn more about the vast opportunities available to them.”

Meanwhile, the BizAv Talks sessions, introduced this year, featured more than 45 industry leaders over the three-day show. Sessions highlighted the importance of collaboration within the business aviation ecosystem to open new opportunities, streamline services, and tackle issues facing the sector.

The next MEBAA Show is scheduled for December 10 to 12, 2024, in Dubai.
