17- 18 May 2010, Dubai - UAE
Fleming Gulf’s Middle East Business Aviation Conference gathers the cream of the business aviation community to tackle important issues within the region using case studies, panel discussions, special keynote addresses along with unmatched networking opportunities with key decision makers and industry leaders to give the participants an interactive, experience driven learning opportunity.
The market has introduced an altered playbook – with fresh rules that challenge our thinking, business practices and even values. Instant marketplaces have been created through globalization and complex, highly efficient supply chains now compete for recognition. The recent economic slowdown is an important chapter of this story and the trends indicate the management’s need for greater mobility, organizational agility, knowledge integration and speed.
The global economy rewards information amalgamation, customer interaction, directorial dexterity and swiftness. To achieve these, an organization would need mobility for their employees including executives, board members and specialist teams.
The Need for Business Travel
Civil aviation today touches nearly every aspect of our lives, and its success will, to a degree, shape our society and the world economy over the next century. Business aviation is an integral component to this growth and it unleashes the value mobility to the fullest extent. Business aircraft provide efficient, productive and secure business travel which is in reality not a luxury but rather another business communication tool – an air transport option tailored to the specific needs of companies and individuals rather than scheduled airline departures.
Business aviation represents a region of growth in the entire world with latest policies by regulatory authorities, better aircraft designs, modern specific executive flight centres, increased shareholder scrutiny and environmental awareness putting today’s aviation world into perspective.

ADAC is the largest operator of airports in the UAE, with five airports currently under its management: Abu Dhabi International, Al Ain International, Al Bateen Executive, Sir Bani Yas Island and Delma Island Airport.
Intrinsic to Abu Dhabi Government’s infrastructural and economic development for the emirate – “Plan 2030” – ADAC’s primary asset, Abu Dhabi International Airport, is earmarked for multi-billion dollar investment, making it one of the world’s most ambitious airport redevelopment projects.
Having chosen a diversification strategy for its portfolio of assets – Al Ain International (LCC /cargo), Al Bateen Executive (private aviation) and resort-class airports on Sir Bani Yas and Delma Islands – the company is also developing a series of commercial districts and business and logistics parks.
Safety and security is the foundation upon which all other considerations are built at ADAC and elements both its partner airlines and passengers have come to know and trust its efficient airport environments.
Al Bateen Executive Airport, the only dedicated business jet airport in the Middle East, is located in Abu Dhabi city, providing fast and convenient access to the capital and its downtown business district. The airport was the primary gateway to the UAE capital in the 1960’s until Abu Dhabi International Airport was opened 32km outside the city centre in 1982. Al Bateen was then transformed into a military air base, undergoing complete transformation in 2008 when Abu Dhabi Airports Company was charged with managing the airport and redeveloping it into an airport exclusively for private jets.
The airport provides full FBO services and parking for more than 40 aircraft. Al Bateen is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar expansion of its infrastructure & services and will be designed to meet the highest standards featuring premium passenger and crew lounges, an on-site hotel, and a range of aviation support services.
