MEBAA Show 2026 Exhibitor Guide: this is the only complete reference to every confirmed company, every verified stand number, and every Aviation Index operational profile link for the 11th edition of the Middle East and Africa’s leading business aviation exhibition opening December 8 at Dubai World Central.
MEBAA Show 2026 opens December 8 at Dubai World Central and runs through December 10, bringing together the global business aviation community for the 11th edition of the Middle East and Africa’s leading business aviation exhibition. The previous edition generated up to USD 1 billion in announced deals across aircraft orders, service agreements, and partnership MOUs. More than 165 exhibiting brands and 10,000 visitors from more than 100 countries are expected at the 2026 edition, with 92% of 2024 exhibitors confirmed to return.
This guide lists every confirmed exhibitor at MEBAA Show 2026 with verified stand numbers drawn directly from the official MEBAA 2026 exhibitor directory. What makes this guide different from every other MEBAA coverage is one thing: for 25 of the 141 confirmed exhibitors, this guide links directly to their verified operational profile on the Aviation Index platform rather than their own marketing website. That means verified FBO operating hours, fuel type, ground handling capabilities, and contact data you can use before, during, and after the show, not a brochure page.
For the complete operational guide to flying into Dubai for MEBAA 2026 covering slot coordination at OMDW, UAE landing permits, FBO pre-orders, and crew documentation, see the Aviation Index Flying to Dubai for MEBAA 2026 guide. For end-to-end MEBAA trip support covering permits, fuel, ground handling, and December 10 departure coordination, Aeroworld Flight Support is exhibiting at stands 305 and 306 and handles UAE operations 24/7 from offices in Pakistan and the UAE.
Why This MEBAA Show 2026 Exhibitor Guide Is Different From the Official List
This MEBAA Show 2026 exhibitor guide does something the official mebaa.aero list does not: for 25 of the 141 confirmed exhibitors it links directly to their verified operational profile on Aviation Index rather than their own marketing website.
The official MEBAA exhibitor list at mebaa.aero gives you a company name, a country, and a stand number. It links to each company’s own website. That is a starting point, not a planning tool.
This guide does something different for every major FBO, ground handler, trip support provider, and fuel supplier at MEBAA 2026. Where the company has a verified operational profile on Aviation Index, this guide links there directly. The Aviation Index FBO Directory covers more than 15,000 verified FBO and ground handler listings worldwide. When you click through from this guide to an Aviation Index profile you get verified operating hours, fuel type, services offered, ICAO airport code, and contact details — information you can act on immediately.
For every company at MEBAA 2026 that does not yet have an Aviation Index profile, this guide links to their official MEBAA exhibitor page so you always have a working verified link.
Use this guide in three ways. Before the show: research every company you plan to meet, verify their operational capabilities on Aviation Index, and prepare specific questions for each stand. During the show: use the day-by-day plan in Section 11 to prioritize your time across three days. After the show: any new FBO or handler you discovered at MEBAA can be found and tracked on the Aviation Index platform.
Aircraft Manufacturers and Static Display — What to See and What to Ask
The 2024 MEBAA edition hosted 30 aircraft on static display from major business and general aviation manufacturers. The 2026 static display is expected to match or exceed that number.
The static display at MEBAA is not a passive viewing experience. It is the primary deal-making environment for aircraft acquisition discussions. Manufacturers position their most capable products on the apron specifically to trigger buyer conversations. Walk the static display with a specific aircraft question for each OEM and you will get a sales engineer’s time. Walk it without one and you will get a brochure.
One additional confirmed static participant: Action Aviation from the UAE is exhibiting a static display aircraft rather than a booth, making them one of the few broker and acquisition specialists with an aircraft on the apron.
Airbus Corporate Jets covers VIP and VVIP configured narrowbody and widebody completions. The ACJ ONE based on the A220 and the ACJ TwoTwenty are the flagship corporate products for the Middle East market. The ACJ TwoTwenty offers a range of 5,650 nautical miles and is positioned as the most efficient narrowbody corporate jet currently in production. Stand number has not been confirmed in the official directory. At MEBAA 2026, ask Airbus about delivery slot availability for new ACJ orders and what completion centres they recommend for Gulf-based buyers.
Boeing Business Jets exhibits the BBJ MAX family at MEBAA. The BBJ MAX 8 offers up to 11,000 nautical miles of range in a VVIP configured cabin, making it one of the longest-range corporate jets available. The BBJ MAX 9 offers additional cabin volume at comparable range. At MEBAA 2026, ask Boeing Business Jets about the Boeing Global Services support structure at stand 395 for BBJ operators in the UAE specifically, and whether parts availability for UAE-registered BBJ fleets meets AOG response time commitments.
Bombardier confirmed for MEBAA 2026 with a new MRO facility under construction at Abu Dhabi’s Al Bateen Airport expected to open later this year. The Global 7500 is the expected flagship static display aircraft at 7,700 nautical miles range covering Dubai to New York nonstop — the route that defines ultra-long-range demand in the Gulf market. At MEBAA 2026, ask Bombardier three things: what the current order book lead time is for new Global 7500 deliveries, whether the Al Bateen MRO facility will cover Global 7500 heavy maintenance under warranty, and what Smart Link Plus health monitoring shows for typical UAE desert environment wear patterns on the GE Passport engines.
Dassault Falcon brings the Falcon 10X and Falcon 6X to MEBAA 2026. The Falcon 10X is the flagship ultra-long-range product at 7,500 nautical miles range with a fuselage cross-section wider than the Global 7500. At MEBAA, the right question for Dassault is about the Falcon 10X certification timeline and first delivery schedule for Middle East buyers on order positions who need current status.
Gulfstream takes the two largest adjacent static display positions at MEBAA 2026. The G700 and G800 are the primary static display candidates. The G800 offers 8,000 nautical miles range covering Dubai to New York nonstop with reserve. Gulfstream is among the confirmed OEM exhibitors at MEBAA 2026. At MEBAA, ask Gulfstream about Customer Support availability in the UAE, warranty coverage for Gulf-registered G700 and G800 aircraft, and whether a regional service centre expansion in the Middle East is planned.
Junkers Aircraft is the most unexpected OEM at MEBAA 2026. The company is developing a new turboprop aircraft under the historic Junkers name and MEBAA marks one of its first major international exhibitions. At MEBAA, Junkers is worth visiting to understand the product and timeline. The Middle East has limited turboprop business aviation infrastructure so Junkers is likely targeting regional connectivity and special mission operators rather than the core VVIP charter market.
VistaJet exhibits as both a fleet operator and a subscription product at MEBAA. The company operates one of the largest Bombardier Global fleets globally and uses MEBAA as a primary membership acquisition event for Gulf-region high net worth individuals. The question to ask at stand A27: what is the guaranteed availability commitment for Middle East-origin missions specifically, and what is the upgrade path from the entry-level program to the full VistaJet membership.
Honeywell at MEBAA covers three distinct product lines. The Honeywell Forge Flight Efficiency platform targets corporate flight department managers managing fuel costs and maintenance predictability. The Primus Epic avionics suite targets aircraft operators evaluating cockpit upgrades. The Aspire connectivity system targets operators evaluating satcom options. Clarify which Honeywell product line is the focus of your conversation before approaching stand A40 so you get the right product specialist.
FBOs and Ground Handling — Verify Every Company on Aviation Index Before You Meet
The Aviation Index FBO Directory has verified profiles for 17 of the FBO and ground handling companies exhibiting at MEBAA 2026. For each one, the Aviation Index profile link in this section gives you verified operational data — not a marketing page. Check operating hours, fuel type, services, and contact details before you have the conversation on the show floor.
Three questions to ask every FBO you meet at MEBAA 2026:
First — what is your physical presence at the specific airport you operate? A registered UAE company address is not the same as an operational ramp team at OMDW or OMAD.
Second — what is your fuel release coordination process for Abu Dhabi airports where ADNOC is the exclusive supplier? FBOs that handle Abu Dhabi regularly will answer this immediately. Those that do not will pause.
Third — what is your slot coordination process for OMDW arrivals during peak periods? For December 10 specifically when every MEBAA operator is trying to depart simultaneously.
For the complete UAE FBO operational guide covering all Emirates airports, see the Aviation Index FBO UAE guide.
Aeroworld Flight Support provides 24/7 global flight support and handles UAE operations from offices in both Pakistan and the UAE. As an NBAA and EBAA member operating under Shell fuel agreements, Aeroworld’s services at MEBAA 2026 cover overflight and landing permit applications for all UAE airports including OMDW, OMDB, OMAD, and OMAA, advance fuel release coordination, ground handling coordination across OMDW terminals, slot coordination including the December 10 departure window, HOTAC and ground transportation arrangements in Dubai, and customs and immigration logistics for crew and passengers. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index. Contact at aeroworld.pk or +92 21 9907 1813.
Jetex was founded at the Dubai Airshow in 2005 by CEO Adel Mardini and has grown into a global FBO network with operations in more than 30 countries. At OMDW, Jetex operates the flagship VIP terminal as one of three FBO operators at Al Maktoum International. The terminal offers on-site customs and immigration support. At stand 399, the right conversations are about annual UAE fuel volume agreements and what Jetex’s VIP terminal can offer for high-frequency Middle East operators. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
DC Aviation Al Futtaim is the UAE arm of Germany’s DC Aviation Group, operating at Al Maktoum International Airport as an FBO and MRO provider. DC Aviation Al Futtaim is expanding its managed charter fleet at Dubai South ahead of MEBAA 2026. The unique value versus the other two OMDW FBOs is MRO-integrated handling — operators who need maintenance access alongside ground handling can keep the aircraft at one facility. At stand 1270, ask about hangar availability for aircraft requiring line maintenance during MEBAA week and turnaround time commitment for scheduled inspections. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Gama Aviation opened the Gama Aviation Sharjah Business Aviation Centre at Sharjah International Airport (OMSJ) in 2026 with a dedicated SASCO hydrant fuelling system. Business jet movements at Sharjah grew 41% in 2025 and Gama Aviation reported a 50% year-on-year rise in aircraft movements at the facility. At MEBAA, Gama Aviation is worth visiting if your UAE operations include Sharjah as a primary or alternate airport. Ask about the SASCO hydrant fuelling throughput commitment during peak periods and guaranteed turnaround time for large-cabin aircraft. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Royal Jet is the Abu Dhabi-based FBO and charter operator at Al Bateen Executive Airport (OMAD), the only dedicated business aviation airport in the Middle East. At stand 100, the right conversation for operators who regularly use Al Bateen is about the ADNOC fuel release process specifically — Royal Jet coordinates ADNOC fuel releases for their handled aircraft and their advance documentation process can save dispatchers the delays that come from arranging releases independently. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Jet Aviation operates FBO and MRO facilities at Dubai International Airport and is one of the primary handlers for OMDB business aviation operations. Jet Aviation is among the confirmed key exhibitors at MEBAA Show 2026. At MEBAA, Jet Aviation’s stand is relevant for operators who prefer OMDB over OMDW. At stand 425, ask about MRO slot availability at OMDB for aircraft requiring maintenance during or after the MEBAA period. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Harrods Aviation operates at London Luton Airport as a direct competitor to Signature Flight Support at the same field. The brand recognition of the Harrods name carries significant weight in the VVIP market, particularly for Middle East operators who frequently use Luton as their London entry point. At stand 716, ask about the Harrods Aviation account structure for high-frequency Middle East to London operators. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Universal Aviation operates a global FBO and trip support network with locations at London Stansted, Paris Le Bourget, Dublin Airport, and Shannon Airport among others. Shannon Airport, where Universal Aviation Ireland has operated for more than 20 years, offers the only hydrant fuelling system in Ireland with no VAT on internationally uplifted fuel and among the lowest jet fuel prices in Europe. At stand 493, ask about annual network account pricing across their European locations for operators with consistent UK, France, and Ireland routing. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
MixJet Flight Support is a UAE-based ground handling and flight support company operating at OMDW. At MEBAA, MixJet represents a third OMDW ground handling option for operators who want to compare service offerings across the terminal before committing to a primary handler relationship. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Omni Handling is a Portuguese ground handling specialist exhibiting at MEBAA 2026. For operators with European operations who need a Southern European ground handling relationship, Omni Handling covers Portuguese airports. At stand 596, ask about Lisbon and Porto operations and turnaround time commitments for business aviation. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Sea Prime operates the Milano Prime FBO at Milan Linate Airport. For Middle East operators flying to Milan, Sea Prime at Linate offers a faster city transfer than Milano Malpensa. At stand 883, ask about the Sea Prime account structure for Gulf-registered operators making multiple Milan visits annually. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Privatport’s presence at MEBAA 2026 marks its first major industry event as a standalone business. Josua Hildbrand, CEO of PrivatPort, confirmed: “The MEBAA Show will be a defining milestone for PrivatPort, marking the first official industry event at which we will exhibit as a stand-alone business.” The company is investing in Dubai and positions MEBAA as its primary market entry event for the Middle East. At stand 1060, ask what the Dubai investment means operationally. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Delta Aerotaxi operates as an Italian FBO and charter provider. For operators with Italian routing needs, stand 885 covers the Delta Aerotaxi network of Italian handling locations. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport offers no slot restrictions, competitive fuel pricing, and a business aviation-friendly infrastructure that makes it a viable alternative to Edinburgh and Glasgow International for Scottish operations. At stand 810, ask about fuel pricing versus Edinburgh and ground transport time to central Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.

Trip Support Providers — Three Questions to Ask Every Stand
There are more than 20 trip support companies exhibiting at MEBAA 2026. Use these three questions at every trip support stand to separate the ones with genuine UAE operational depth from the ones with a UAE address.
Question 1: Do you have a physical operations team in the UAE or do you manage UAE operations remotely from a European or US office?
Question 2: What is your average permit processing time for OMDW and OMAD in peak periods specifically — not standard lead times, but what actually happens when you have three UAE permits to process in the same week?
Question 3: Do you have a direct commercial relationship with ADNOC Distribution for Abu Dhabi fuel releases or do you coordinate through a third-party fuel reseller?
For the complete UAE regulatory compliance guide covering ADNOC fuel release requirements, overflight permit procedures, and customs and immigration protocols, see the Aviation Index Compliance Library.
UAS International is one of the largest global trip support providers with a primary UAE base. Mohammed Husary, Founder and Executive President of UAS International Trip Support, confirmed at MEBAA 2026: “Business aviation is being reshaped by data, automation and real-time decision-making, and MEBAA Show is where the industry comes together to demonstrate.” At stand 175, ask about UAS’s proprietary operational intelligence platform and its data coverage for MEBAA-week operations. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.

Fuel Suppliers — The Conversation Most Operators Skip
Most operators walk past fuel supplier stands at airshows. That is a mistake at MEBAA 2026 for a specific operational reason: ENOC — one of the two primary fuel suppliers at OMDW and OMDB — is exhibiting at stand 290. This is a direct access opportunity to the fuel vendor that affects every UAE operation you plan.
For the complete guide to how FBO fuel management works including exclusive vs competitive supply arrangements, fuel flowage margins, and advance fuel release requirements at Abu Dhabi airports, see the Aviation Index FBO Fuel Management guide.
ENOC is one of the two primary aviation fuel suppliers at both OMDW and OMDB alongside Shell Aviation. At stand 290, the conversations worth having are: establishing a direct ENOC volume account for annual UAE uplift, understanding the ENOC pricing structure versus posted retail at OMDW and OMDB, and clarifying the ENOC fuel release coordination process. The ENOC stand at MEBAA is one of the few opportunities operators have to meet the actual fuel vendor rather than their FBO intermediary. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
AEG Fuels is among the confirmed key exhibitors at MEBAA Show 2026. AEG Fuels provides contract fuel programs across its worldwide network. At stand 792, ask about contract fuel pricing thresholds for UAE operations and whether annual uplift volume at OMDW and OMDB qualifies for the network discount structure. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
World Fuel Services is one of the largest aviation fuel suppliers globally, providing contract fuel programs and fuel management services across the Middle East network. At stand 1160, bring your approximate annual UAE fuel uplift figure in litres to the conversation and World Fuel can give you a real comparison on the spot versus posted retail at OMDW. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
JSS Fuel FZCO is a UAE-based aviation fuel supply and logistics company with two adjacent stands at MEBAA 2026. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
MRO Providers — What the Middle East Market Needs in 2026
The 2026 MRO Europe audience poll confirmed that 74% of aviation professionals prioritize turnaround time over price when selecting a maintenance provider.
The Middle East has three specific MRO needs that differ from European and North American markets. High utilization rates because aircraft in this region fly more hours annually than the global average. Desert operating environment affecting engine sand and dust ingestion, airframe corrosion protection, and landing gear maintenance schedules. Limited local MRO capacity meaning most heavy maintenance events still route to Europe or the United States, adding ferry flight costs and schedule disruption.
At every MRO stand at MEBAA 2026, ask one question that none of the brochures answer: what is your actual current slot availability for a heavy maintenance event on the specific aircraft type you operate, and what is the realistic turnaround time from induction to return to service?
Lufthansa Technik is among the confirmed key exhibitors at MEBAA Show 2026. Lufthansa Technik is one of the world’s largest independent MRO providers for commercial and business aviation. For VVIP and ultra-long-range operators in the Middle East, Lufthansa Technik covers line maintenance, heavy maintenance, component overhaul, and VIP completions. At MEBAA, ask about the AMRO program for Gulf-registered aircraft and what the ferry flight cost is to their nearest facility versus the labour rate differential. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Duncan Aviation is one of the largest business aviation MRO providers in the United States with facilities in Lincoln Nebraska, Battle Creek Michigan, and Provo Utah. At MEBAA, Duncan Aviation targets Middle East operators with US-based maintenance programs. At stand 593, ask whether Duncan Aviation can offer a combined maintenance slot with avionics upgrade at the same visit to reduce total aircraft downtime. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Fokker Services provides aircraft component overhaul, parts supply, and engineering services. At stand 615, clarify which aircraft type coverage Fokker Services can provide for Gulf-registered business jets before spending time on the conversation. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
Boeing Global Services covers parts, MRO, and digital services for commercial and business aviation operators in the Middle East. Boeing Business Jet operators should ask specifically about parts availability for UAE-registered BBJ aircraft and what the Boeing Global Services response time is for AOG parts orders placed from UAE locations. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
JSSI — Stand 480
Jet Support Services International provides hourly cost maintenance programs for business aircraft operators worldwide. At MEBAA, ask whether an hourly cost program reduces total maintenance cost versus time-and-material for a Gulf-based operator flying 400 to 600 hours annually. JSSI should be able to run this analysis on the show floor. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
SATYS — Stand 590
SATYS provides aircraft painting and surface treatment services. The desert operating environment in the UAE accelerates paint degradation compared to European conditions, making SATYS relevant for operators who have not evaluated repaint scheduling on a desert-adjusted maintenance cycle. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.

Technology and Connectivity — What Is Worth Seeing in 2026
The technology category at MEBAA 2026 covers three distinct types of products: connectivity systems for in-flight internet, flight operations management software, and crew management platforms. Middle East operators flying ultra-long-range routes to Asia and North America have different connectivity requirements from regional operators flying within the GCC.
Gogo — Stand 1050
Gogo Business Aviation provides in-flight connectivity systems for business jets. The Gogo 5G network is the flagship product for new and retrofit installations in the United States. The Avance L5 provides global connectivity for international routes including Middle East to Europe and Middle East to North America. At stand 1050, ask about Avance L5 performance specifically on UAE to US routes and what the monthly data plan cost looks like for a high-utilization operator flying 500 hours annually. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
FL3XX — Stand 610
FL3XX is an aviation management software platform covering charter quoting, flight scheduling, and operations management. At stand 610, ask about FL3XX integration with the permit and ground handling workflow — specifically whether the platform has direct API connections to any of the trip support providers also exhibiting at MEBAA. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
CAE is the world’s largest aviation training company, providing full-flight simulators and type rating training programs for business aviation. At stand 190, ask about CAE’s nearest simulator location for the specific aircraft type you operate and what the scheduling availability looks like for type ratings and recurrency training in the next six months.

Airports and Regulatory Bodies — Go Here First on Day One
The two most undervisited stands at every MEBAA show are the regulatory authority stands. The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority at stand 380 and the GCAA at stand 494 represent direct access to the two regulatory bodies that govern every UAE flight operation. This access is unique to MEBAA. You cannot walk into the GCAA permit office on a normal working day and have a one-on-one conversation with a regulatory official. At MEBAA you can.
The GCAA is the UAE authority that issues landing permits for all UAE airports. At stand 494, operators with complex UAE permit questions — commercial charter operators needing TCO authorization, operators with pending permit applications, operators planning to establish a UAE base of operations — have direct access to the GCAA team without an intermediary. For UAE regulatory requirements across all airport entry points, see the Aviation Index Compliance Library. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
The DCAA represents the regulatory authority for OMDW and OMDB specifically. His Excellency Mohammed Abdulla Lengawi, Director General of the DCAA, has confirmed the MEBAA Show’s position as a leading global aviation platform reflecting Dubai’s standing as a world-class aviation hub. At stand 380, ask about slot coordination policy for MEBAA week and the DCAA’s enforcement position for operators who miss their slot window during December 8 to 10. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
Dubai South is the master developer of the area surrounding Al Maktoum International Airport. At stand 280, ask about the five-year infrastructure plan for the OMDW area including new hangar capacity, MRO facility expansion, and what the development plan means for FBO operators considering OMDW as a primary base. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport offers no slot restrictions, competitive fuel pricing, and a business aviation infrastructure that makes it a viable transatlantic tech stop alternative for Gulf operators routing through Scotland. Verify their operational profile at Aviation Index.
The Private Jet Centre at London City Airport offers the closest business aviation entry point to the City of London financial district. For Middle East operators with Canary Wharf and City connections, London City Airport’s steep approach and short runway are trade-offs for a 15-minute transfer to the Square Mile. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
Aircraft Registries — Why Middle East Operators Register Abroad
The majority of business jets owned by UAE-based individuals and companies are registered in foreign jurisdictions rather than under the UAE DCAA registry. The primary reasons are regulatory flexibility, international recognition, operational simplicity for multi-country operations, and in some cases tax and liability considerations. MEBAA is one of the few events where multiple competing registry authorities exhibit simultaneously, giving operators a direct comparison opportunity.
The Cayman Islands VP-C registry is a British Overseas Territory registry widely recognized internationally and popular with Gulf-based business jet operators. At stand 303, ask about the registration process for a UAE-based operator, annual maintenance requirements for a VP-C registered business jet, and the CACI’s response time for airworthiness certificate renewals. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
Aviation Registry Group provides multi-jurisdiction registration services. At stands 650 and 1250, the conversation is about which registry jurisdiction best fits a specific operator’s operational profile and financial structure. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
The Gibraltar G registry is a growing option for Gulf operators seeking a British Overseas Territory registration. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.

Ground Support Equipment — For FBO Operators and Ramp Managers
This section covers GSE manufacturers at MEBAA 2026. If you are a dispatcher, flight department manager, or aircraft operator rather than an FBO operator or airport manager, skip this section.
MOTOTOK manufactures electric remote-controlled aircraft tow tugs that eliminate the need for a tug driver position in the aircraft nose gear. ExecuJet’s Paris Le Bourget FBO deployed MOTOTOK pushback tugs as part of its fully electric GSE fleet introduced in January 2024, seven years ahead of Luxaviation Group’s 2030 target date. At stand 691, ask about the MOTOTOK model range compatibility with the specific aircraft types operated at your FBO. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
TowFLEXX manufactures electric aircraft tugs used at FBO facilities across Europe and the Middle East. At stand 709, compare the TowFLEXX range against MOTOTOK for the specific aircraft types your FBO handles most frequently. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
Tronair provides ground support equipment including aircraft jacks, tow bars, and ground servicing tools. At stand 592, ask about Tronair’s desert environment product range specifically — standard GSE is not always rated for the temperature extremes of UAE ramp operations in summer months. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.
Gandhi Automations specializes in aircraft hangar door systems and automation. For FBO operators planning hangar construction or expansion in the UAE, stand 1235 covers the door systems that account for a significant portion of hangar construction cost. Visit their MEBAA exhibitor profile.

Your MEBAA 2026 Show Floor Plan — Day by Day
Three days is enough time to cover every priority stand if you plan your route before arriving at OMDW. The show opens at 10:00 and closes at 17:00 on all three days. Use this day-by-day plan as a framework and adjust based on your specific operational priorities.
Day 1 — December 8: OEMs, Static Display, MRO Announcements
Day 1 is when the static display is freshest and OEM representatives are most available. MRO announcements and aircraft order signings typically happen on day 1 to generate press coverage across the full show period.
Priority stands on Day 1: Bombardier at A31, Gulfstream at A22 and A23, Dassault at A34, Boeing Business Jets at A35, Lufthansa Technik at 815, GCAA at 494 for regulatory queries, Dubai South at 280 for infrastructure context, and DCAA at 380.
Walk the static display before the halls open on Day 1. The apron is less crowded in the first two hours of the show and OEM sales engineers are easier to access before the afternoon peak. Note that MEBAA tickets are USD 150 until December 7 and USD 195 at standard rate. Registration requires a passport photo and passport copy because the show is on a live airfield.
Day 2 — December 9: FBOs, Trip Support, Fuel Suppliers
Day 2 is when FBO and trip support stands are busiest as the mid-show networking pace peaks. This is the day to have operational conversations rather than product demonstrations.
Priority stands on Day 2: Aeroworld Flight Support at stands 305 and 306, UAS International at 175, Jetex FZE at 399, Universal Aviation at 493, ENOC at 290, World Fuel Services at 1160, DC Aviation Al Futtaim at 1270, Gama Aviation at 285, and Royal Jet at 100.
For every FBO and trip support conversation on Day 2, use the three-question framework from the trip support section of this guide. Physical UAE presence, OMDW and OMAD permit processing time in peak periods, and ADNOC fuel release coordination process.
Day 3 — December 10: Technology, Registries, Deals Close, Depart
Day 3 is when deals close and the show floor empties from early afternoon. Technology and registry stands are least crowded on Day 3 giving you more time with product specialists.
Priority stands on Day 3: Gogo at 1050, CAE Inc at 190, FL3XX at 610, Cayman Islands CAA at 303, Aviation Registry Group at 650 and 1250, and any FBO or trip support stands you did not cover on Day 2.
Critical Day 3 operational note: December 10 is the most congested departure window of the entire MEBAA calendar. Every operator at the show departs within the same compressed timeframe. If you have not already confirmed your OMDW or OMDB departure slot and coordinated your fuel pre-order with your FBO for December 10, do it at the Aeroworld stand at 305 and 306 or at your chosen FBO stand before leaving the show floor. Operating outside the permitted slot deviation window at Dubai airports carries fines of USD 1,400 to 2,800 per deviation.
How to Find Every MEBAA 2026 Exhibitor on Aviation Index
This MEBAA Show 2026 exhibitor guide links to Aviation Index verified operational profiles for 25 of the 141 confirmed exhibitors — data that company websites and the official MEBAA list do not carry. These profiles contain verified data that company websites do not carry: operating hours confirmed against official sources, fuel type availability, services offered at specific airport locations, ICAO airport codes, and contact details for the operations team rather than the marketing department.
To find any exhibitor on Aviation Index, go to the Aviation Index FBO Directory and search by company name. If the company has a profile you will find verified operational data. If they do not have a profile yet, their MEBAA exhibitor page at mebaa.aero is the next best source.
The 25 MEBAA 2026 exhibitors with verified Aviation Index profiles are linked throughout this guide. Every link that goes to aviationindex.co/organization/ takes you to verified operational data. Every link that goes to mebaa.aero/exhibitor-list/ takes you to the official MEBAA exhibitor page.
