You're in Dubai - look out the window at the ramp and count the turbo-props. Right, that didnt take long, now count the jets.
There are more turboprops in Dubai than VLJs in the entire Middle East.

How many turbo-props do Netjets operate?
If they had some maybe they would be doing some good business like Avantair...

The VLJ concept is new and timing has been bad with a global recession. Ask the same question in a year or two.
This has been announced for the past three years. I'm still waiting to see successful VLJ ops... As far as the Middle East is concerned, I don't think so many people would be crazy enough to give it a go considering the performances.
