Growth and Innovation at the Forefront of MEBAA Show 2022

Recent reports have highlighted that the global private jet market is projected to reach US$39.84 billion in 2025, up 54 per cent from US$25.87 billion in 2021. The Middle East market, specifically the GCC region, represents a major part of that. Further, a new report from Global Jet Capital forecasts that new and pre-owned private aircraft transactions through 2026 are expected to increase at an average annual rate of 1.5 per cent.

With growth and innovation increasing in business aviation, key industry players are gearing up to attend MEBAA Show 2022. Taking place from 6-8 December at Dubai World Central (DWC) Airport, exhibitors such as Airbus Corporate Jets and Boeing Business Jets, amongst many others, will be showcasing world-class private jets and the latest innovation within the business aviation sector. The event will offer a re-defined and revitalised programme to take networking to a new level and drive the business aviation industry forward.

New exhibitors for this edition include Executive Lifestyle, Tahseen, Ecommpay, VOO, Mirai Flights, Liberty Aviation, Prime Trip Support, Flight Consulting Group, AAL AG (Altenrhein Aviation) and AAS AG (Atlas Air Service), along with several others. The new exhibitors will showcase the latest digital platforms for business and private aviation, blockchain-based assets, eVTOL aircraft and advanced technologies from leading manufacturers.

Propelling the Industry Forward

With a majority of airlines (84 per cent) and airports (81 per cent) predicted to spend the same or more on technology in 2022 compared to the previous year, digitalisation, blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), crypto-based payments, and sustainability are key trends propelling the industry forward. There has been a strong shift in the value of business aviation over the last few years. Passengers are seeking complete control of their travel experience with a smooth booking process and a fully connected aircraft. Additionally, operators are taking a holistic view of the new generation of passengers, reviewing business strategies to navigate the private passenger of tomorrow.

For instance, VOO, one of the new exhibitors at the show, is one of the world’s first digital B2B marketplaces for private jet travel, to search, book, manage and pay for private jet flights directly.

Robert Plhak, B.A. Partner, CEO of VOO, said: “The VOO Marketplace, developed by AVINOC, an aviation think tank with its own cryptocurrency token, solves the obvious structural, operational and business-related problems and benefits the entire industry. Our efficient software provides charter brokers and private jet operators with the opportunity to close charter contracts within seconds. With our all-in-one platform, we help to reduce time investment and costs while increasing profit margins. We look forward to exhibiting at the MEBAA Show 2022 together with AVINOC for the first time and presenting VOO with its digital marketplace to an international audience in the Middle East.”

Also in attendance will be Mirai Flights/Emperor Aviation, sharing details of its cutting-edge portfolio of services, including private jet charter experiences, with the network of key industry professionals.

Razvan Stefan, CEO of Emperor Aviation, highlighted: “Companies of every size are now using business aviation to transport executives, clients or specialists to boost their competitive edge. Business aviation has been steadily growing, and it will continue to do so. We are looking forward to a successful and productive MEBAA Show 2022, in our first year as an exhibitor.”

This year’s MEBAA Show will also see the launch of a new conference. Biz Av Talks will offer the opportunity to learn from industry experts, hear the latest trends in business aviation, and participate in interactive discussions with more than 30 global panellists and speakers. Covering key themes such as future aviation, sustainability, emerging markets, regulations and much more, it will reassess the dynamics of the industry and offer a new perspective on business aviation.

The exhibitors will also have a range of networking options and facilities at the show. A dedicated operators’ programme will bring together regional and international operators, and a re-designed show floor ensures smooth traffic flow and increased networking opportunities.
