MEBAA Show 2026 Attracts Global Business Aviation Leaders
MEBAA Show 2026 continues to strengthen Dubai’s role as an international business aviation destination. Taking place from 8–10 December 2026 at DWC, Dubai Airshow Site, the 11th edition of MEBAA Show will bring together aircraft manufacturers, operators, charter companies, FBOs, MRO providers and technology innovators from more than 100 countries. Their collective presence not only reflects more than the strength of the event itself, it also demonstrates the industry’s confidence in the UAE as one of the world’s most dynamic and resilient business aviation markets.
That confidence is underpinned by the UAE’s strong economic and aviation fundamentals. The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) recently surpassed 10,000 active registered companies, with active company registrations increasing by 30% year on year, reflecting continued international investment and business confidence. Further reinforcing the sector’s momentum, the UAE surpassed 1,000 registered aircraft in July 2026, according to the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), highlighting the country’s continued growth as a global aviation hub.
Tim Hawes, Managing Director at Informa Markets, said: “The strength of this year’s exhibitor line-up sends a clear message about where the business aviation industry sees opportunity. Companies aren’t simply booking exhibition space. They’re making a strategic investment in one of the world’s most strategic aviation markets and choosing MEBAA Show as the platform to connect with customers, partners and decision-makers who matter most.
“For visitors, MEBAA Show offers unrivalled access to the companies and decision-makers shaping global business aviation. International demand is already strong, with visitor registration opening six weeks ago and almost 70% of registrations coming from international attendees, reinforcing MEBAA Show’s position as the region’s leading platform for global business aviation,” Hawes added.
The calibre of organisations exhibiting at MEBAA Show reflects the event’s reputation as the region’s premier commercial platform for business aviation. Established global leaders continue to return every two years to strengthen relationships with customers and partners, while first-time exhibitors are choosing the show as the launchpad for their regional growth strategies.
