Recently we had an opportunity to go visit the MEBAA show 2022. It was amazing to see the new trends of the aviation services and we even got a chance to go inside a private jet for the first time. It was a memorable experience for me to see so many aircrafts and to learn about them.

The trip to Dubai MEBAA show 2022 gave us an unforgettable experience and loads of knowledge about aircrafts. We had a good time not only exploring the place and gaining knowledge but also with our fellow mates. We got to see and learn about new models of cars launched in the market accompanied by a tour inside the aircrafts. The interior of the aircrafts was quite fascinating and beautiful, so was the service provided. All thanks to Westford for organizing this trip for us.
