More than 62% of the allocated space has been already reserved and we are expecting more than 70 aircraft to be exhibited, including light sport aircraft, pistons, turbo prop, middle jet, and business jets.”

Moreover, we are currently working with prestigious partners on developing workshops, as well as establishing the first Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) office for the Middle East, scheduled to open in March 2012” he added.
