General Aviation in the Middle East (GAME) 2010

GAME 2010 - charting the growth of Private Aviation in the Middle East

Private air charter operations in the Middle East continue to enjoy growth despite the global downturn. The last year has not been easy but, forthe mostpart, the Middle East has bucked the trend. Operators have had to be creative and resourceful but the general aviation landscape is far from bleak. As the GCC looks to consolidate and expand it's role as a major aviation hub this year's GAME conference and exhibition looks to examine how private air charter operators can capitalise on opportunities and grow their business.

General Aviation in the Middle East 2010 is expanded to showcase those companies offering services and support to the business and general aviation sector. The event will provide a detailed insight into the issues affecting private air charter operators in the Middle East and those companies which service and support the operators. We will examine the regulatory and air space issues which influence the operator's day to day activities and look at the options in terms of deploying and rotating aircraft throughout the region. We'll hear from a variety of operator's about their plans and views on the market and the future of the business jet in the region.

We'll seek to gain an understanding of how dedicated business and GA airports, FBO's and support facilities will unfold in the region. We'll look at pilot training, IT support, aircraft sales, light jet options, helicopter services, broker services, industry associations, the art of handling high net worth individuals, funding options for operators, leasing, insurance and legal services, criminalisation issues for the operator, emergency response procedures, safety, IT solutions and software support, aircraft delivery services, MRO and aircraft reliability and airworthiness issues. We'll also hear from the OEM's and how they are building quieter and more efficient aircraft for their customers.
