UAE becomes third largest market for business aircraft in Middle East

The UAE is the third largest market for private jets in the Middle East with a 17% market share. Research by Gama Aviation reveals business jet delivery is huge in the Middle East, and Dubai is well positioned as a world class aviation centre. Only Saudi Arabia and Turkey come ahead of the Emirates. Experts say Dubai is set to be the location of choice for companies looking to set up aircraft management services, with jet aircraft experts and airline hospitality staff catering to every travel need. ‘X Jets’ - a recently launched private jet charter company is just one business looking to cover the Middle East, along with expanding into Africa and India in 2016.
