Escalating Demand for Hangaring Services for Large Aircraft will be Driving the Middle East & Africa Fixed-Base Operator Market

The fixed-based operator market in the Middle East & Africa is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of the Middle East & Africa. Airports in the region are undergoing modernization, decongestion, and expansion activities, alongside offering remarkable set of facilities for passengers.

Nonetheless, the stepwise reopening of border, followed by the imposition of certain social distancing measures, further boosted the demand for private jets for both businesses and leisure travel. Moreover, several international FBO companies have been focusing on establishing their regional presence across the Middle East & Africa fixed base operator market which is further catalyzing the FBO market growth across the region.
