Aviation practice. Is Europe or the Middle East better region?

Hi, I'm interested in the Aviation practice at MBB. Which region would be the best for gaining a ton of exposure?

I am from Eastern Europe, where the aviation sector is smaller. Will there be enough projects if I were to work, for example, from the Warsaw office?

On the other hand, in the Middle East (GCC countries), there are emerging airlines and quite a lot of new airports being built. I am wondering, if I were to later transition into a role at a European airline, would my experience from the ME be relevant?

I would appreciate any insights into the aviation consulting work either in Europe or the Middle East. What are the projects like, and what have you noticed are the most common exit routes?

Thanks a lot.
