As the aviation sector in the region continues to recover and grow with a return to profitability this year, operators are placing a greater emphasis on enhancing commercial operations through digitalization, whilst increasing sustainability. According to data released by The International Air Transport Association (IATA), Middle Eastern airlines saw a 157.4% rise in international traffic in 2022 compared to the prior year with capacity increasing 73.8% and load factor climbing 24.6% points to 75.8%.

The Middle East is an aviation and logistics hub with Dubai Airport recently being named the world's busiest airport for a ninth consecutive year as passenger traffic more than doubled to over 66 million in 2022. Regional government initiatives are increasing investments in aviation, including Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) plans to boost airports’ capacity to handle 330 million passengers by 2030.
