MEBAA Show 2026 to bring business aviation firms to Dubai in December

The MEBAA Show 2026 runs from 8 to 10 December at the Dubai Airshow site. Organisers said exhibitors from more than 100 countries have signed up, among them aircraft manufacturers, operators, charter companies, fixed-base operators, maintenance and repair providers, and technology firms.

Informa Markets runs the exhibition. It presented the exhibitor list as a signal of where business aviation companies expect growth. Tim Hawes, a managing director at the company, said firms were not only reserving exhibition space but making what he described as a strategic investment in the market.

Now in its 11th edition, the event is positioned as the Middle East's leading business aviation exhibition.

Organisers pointed to UAE figures they said underpin that interest. The Dubai International Financial Centre recently passed 10,000 active registered companies, with registrations up 30 percent year on year. The General Civil Aviation Authority reported that the UAE surpassed 1,000 registered aircraft in July 2026.
