The Middle East’s biggest business aviation event, the MEBAA Show, returns to Dubai from 8 to 10 December 2026 at the Dubai Airshow site at Dubai World Central (DWC). Around 200 exhibitors and some 9,000 visitors are expected, along with a large static display of business jets.
Why the show matters
MEBAA brings together charter operators, FBO and ground-handling networks, maintenance organisations, aircraft manufacturers, brokers and regulators from the Gulf, Africa, Asia and Europe. It is where new aircraft are shown, partnerships are signed and the outlook for the region is set for the year ahead.
Malta and the Gulf: a growing corridor
Malta sits at the centre of the Mediterranean, around five hours’ flying time from Dubai in a large-cabin jet. That makes it a natural stopping point between Europe, North Africa and the Gulf, and a popular destination in its own right for Middle Eastern visitors in spring and autumn.
For a Malta–Dubai trip we typically recommend a super-midsize or large-cabin jet with the range to fly non-stop, full catering and a flat-bed option for longer evening departures.
