The Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) reports rising interest in Very Light Jet business launches following a VLJ summit and workshop in Dubai.

"Outside the United States, the Middle East is the fastest growing sector for light business aviation," explains Ali Al Naqbi, chairman, MEBAA. "This new generation of small, affordable jets is taking the aviation sector by storm. From air taxi operators to high net worth individuals, the scope and nature of business aviation is being significantly restructured."

The summit, sponsored by Embraer and Eastern Skyjets, hosted a workshop that analysed VLJ business fundamentals and investment opportunities.
