00:002021 was an exceptional year for the business aviation, especially for UAE,
00:05because how UAE government treated with the pandemic. This is what UAE and Dubai
00:12as on a top destination for the private aviation over the globe. The business aviation numbers in
00:17Dubai and UAE is increased 100% as a private jet. We did in Dubai more than 22,000 flight
00:25in both Airbus, DWC and DXB. And this is a big indication about how much it was a flight
00:30in 2019 before the pandemic and the 2021 UK market. You know, during the past six months,
00:36there's 40,000 flight concept between British Airways and EasyJet. And this is affect
00:43all the travel around, like everyone coming in and out. And you see last time,
00:46last month, Heathrow Airport dropped the flight. So this is affect the commercial traveler. And
00:53this is why it's good for our business that these people move to the business aviation and see it
00:58more convenient for them to fly in the business aviation. The challenge in our industry in the
01:03aviation, that's how you can train the people, how they get for them security approval to be working
01:08on the ramp area. During the pandemic, most of the airport in Europe, they released their stuff.
01:15And now business can rebound quickly. The problem is that where is the stuff,
01:20stuff already left? You have to train the stuff, have to get them security approval,
01:26and working on the ramp area and getting training approval, getting ready for to do operation,
01:34because big responsibility and big liability, this will take time. How it takes time?
01:41We saw more than 40,000 flight cancelled within six months. We saw more than 20,000 flight cancelled
01:49in Germany. So now flying commercial is a big hassle. I don't see the market back 100% as it
01:56was before. And this is a big advantage for our industry, the business aviation,
02:04because still the people has to fly in a private aviation in order to avoid
02:08last minute change, cancellation, luggage lost, all this stuff.
