The MEBAA Show 2024, happening in Dubai this December, will spotlight business aviation’s growth, featuring global leaders, emerging technologies, and innovations like eVTOLs and AAM.

Building on a record-breaking year for Dubai’s business aviation sector, the MEBAA Show 2024 is set to bring together global and regional leaders in the industry. Taking place from December 10-12, 2024, at Dubai World Central, this landmark event reaffirms Dubai’s position as the Middle East’s hub for business aviation.

Business jet activity at Dubai South’s Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub surged by 8% in 2023, achieving the highest movements ever recorded in the emirate. With over 4,600 movements in Q1 2024, the region continues to see robust growth, fueled by a rising number of high-net-worth individuals and a burgeoning demand for private aviation services.

The 10th edition of the MEBAA Show will feature an expanded roster of exhibitors, including new entrants such as Amelia, Mukamalah Aviation, SKYNA, and MySky, alongside returning giants like Boeing, Bombardier, Dassault Aviation, and Greenpoint Technologies.

Greenpoint Technologies, renowned for its custom V-VIP aircraft interiors, expressed excitement about participating again. “MEBAA offers an unparalleled platform for showcasing innovation and fostering meaningful industry relationships,” said Bret Neely, VP of Sales & Design.

Bombardier also highlighted its commitment to the Middle Eastern market, with Jean-Christophe Gallagher emphasizing the importance of showcasing their aircraft tailored to regional needs.

This year’s show will feature a new Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) pavilion, spotlighting cutting-edge eVTOL technology. Joby Aviation has hinted at the potential for aerial taxis to take flight as early as 2025, underscoring the UAE’s leadership in futuristic mobility solutions.

Additionally, the VISTA programme will debut, providing startups a platform to present groundbreaking innovations, from crypto solutions to sustainable technologies.

The MEBAA Show 2024 promises to be a transformative event, bringing together established players and emerging innovators to shape the future of business aviation.
