Next year, the Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) will welcome the growing number of high-net-worth individuals in the UAE to the MEBAA 2026 show. Over the past decade, the number of millionaires based in the UAE has grown by 98%, according to MEBAA. With “$63 billion in new investible wealth expected to flow into the country in 2025,” the association noted, “private aviation demand is accelerating fast, and it’s translating into real deals.”

During the last MEBAA show, the 10th edition held in 2024, more than 145 exhibitors—65 first-timers—were on hand. The static display hosted 30 aircraft from major business and general aviation manufacturers.

According to the association, 92% of exhibitors are likely to return for the 11th MEBAA show, scheduled for December 8 to 10, 2026, at the Dubai World Central convention center at Al Maktoum International Airport. “This strong commitment highlights the show’s ongoing success and its crucial role in shaping the future of the industry,” according to MEBAA.
