Aviation Week’s 2026 forecast projects that the Middle East will take delivery of nearly 160 business aircraft worth $8.6 billion between 2026 and 2035, with the majority being large- and ultra-long-range jets suited to intercontinental travel.
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are expected to drive much of this growth as wealth expansion, sovereign fleets, and luxury travel demand continue to rise. This surge will also spur major investments in FBO, MRO, and airport infrastructure, positioning the region as one of the world’s most dynamic private-aviation markets over the next decade.
