All of the signs indicate a good year for business aviation in 2019, in particular in North Africa, according to Ali Alnaqbi, founding & executive chairman of the Middle East & North Africa Business Aviation Association (MEBAA). The JSSI Business Aviation Index report showed business jet utilisation in Africa was 17.4% up in 2018 on the previous year, significantly larger than any other region. In the absence of Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM), business jet operators benefit from more agility than their commercial counterparts. Rather than personal use or tourism, it is commerce and gaps from the commercial sector driving the African business aviation market. The MEBAA Show Morocco will again bring together the key players in business aviation in addition to featuring a static display of the latest business aircraft.
