The Middle East’s commercial airline fleet is projected to grow at a 5.1% CAGR over the next decade, nearly doubling the global rate, according to Oliver Wyman’s 2025-2035 forecast. The region’s fleet will expand to 2,600 aircraft by 2035, with MRO spending surpassing $20 billion. Growth is driven by rising air travel demand, major aircraft orders, and increased adoption of narrowbody planes. Saudi Arabia and the UAE lead this expansion, emphasizing domestic and international travel, respectively, amid global production challenges.
