The world’s airlines flock to Abu Dhabi
The Middle East is, of course, the fastest growing aviation market in the world. The region’s advantageous position coupled with consistently growing demand for air travel, a surge in aircraft orders, steadily increasing inbound tourism, spectacular airport development plans and the
enthusiasm of regional investors for the sector makes the Middle East the most exciting market in the world.

Following the phenomenal success of Aviation Outlook Middle East 2008, the event is returning for 2009 and is set to be bigger and better. The summit features a number of excellent opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors to
interact with, and raise their profile among, key decision makers from airlines and regulatory bodies in the MENA region and beyond.

 

A global hub
The natural geographic location of GCC countries makes it an ideal hub and a link between East and West.

Regional investors are keenly exploring investment
opportunities in the aviation sector due to excess
liquidity and ambitious private equity and risk appetite in the region.

The demographic and social make up of the GCC and the high expatriate percentage of the population ensures a natural demand driver for the aviation industry.s where the future makers of Middle East aviation will gather to discuss the shape of things to come in the next 24 months. Aviation Outlook Middle East is firmly established as the region’s premier strategic forum for the Aviation industry.

The economic diversification plans of regional governments has ensured focus on the tourism development projects and attracting tourists to the region, helping double digit aviation and tourism growth. In short, the Middle East is the key market for growth in the aviation industry, and one you need to be a part of.
