MEBAA Show 2020 postponed due COVID-19
MEBAA statement in full :
Dear Colleague,
It is with deep regret that I am writing to inform you that we have taken the decision to postpone the MEBAA Show to 22 February until 24 February 2021 due to increased concerns related to the COVID-19 outbreak.
We have been closely monitoring the spread of
COVID-19 over the past few weeks as well as developments on travel
restrictions from governments around the world. After very careful
consideration of the situation and taking into account invaluable
feedback from you, our exhibitors and other stakeholders, we believe the
decision to postpone the event is in the best interests of the health
and safety of all exhibitors, visitors, contractors and staff.
We understand this news will be extremely
disappointing to the business aviation community; however, we believe
that in postponing the show to February 2021, we will be better
positioned to deliver a quality event for everyone.
The event will as usual, showcase the latest
technologies, insights and business opportunities shaping the future of
business aviation in the Middle East and across the globe, but we are
also working very hard on a number of new initiatives that we hope will
add value to your participation at the MEBAA Show in 2021. These include
access to hours of new content through thought-leadership seminars and
workshops along with a pre-arranged meetings program to facilitate
connection and networking between visitors and exhibitors. In addition,
the brand-new Luxury Travel Operators Segment will allow attendees to
meet and network with regional and global high-end travel operators.
In the meantime, if you have any questions relating
to the postponement of the show, please do not hesitate to reach out to
either me or my team. I look forward to welcoming the business aviation
community to Dubai in February - by working together we will ensure our
industry’s recovery is stronger!
Yours sincerely,
Ali Alnaqbi

Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA)
