Dubai Airshow Dubai

Established in 1989, the Dubai Airshow is one of the world’s most important trade events for the aerospace industry. Held biennially in November at Dubai World Central (DWC) – a key international aviation hub in the south of Dubai – the event is organized by Informa Markets in collaboration with local authorities, including the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority. The Airshow brings together the global aviation community in one location, offering a platform for groundbreaking technologies, strategic business opportunities, and forward-looking industry trends.

A key differentiator of the Dubai Airshow is its clear focus on the industry's major megatrends. Sustainability and green aviation take center stage, with a strong emphasis on low-emission technologies and next-generation propulsion systems. Other central themes include artificial intelligence, automation, and data-driven processes across both civil and military aviation sectors. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) – particularly urban air mobility and eVTOL technologies – is featured in a dedicated conference segment. This is complemented by a rapidly growing focus on space, with the “Space Pavilion” showcasing international projects and players from the orbital sector.

Another highlight is the high-level conference program, featuring dedicated tracks such as “Airport & Airlines Keynote,” “Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO),” “Passenger Experience,” “Workforce Development,” “Airport Tech,” and “Future Flight: Powered by Women.” The “Vista” startup zone and the “Academy” provide targeted opportunities for emerging companies, research institutions, and investors aiming to actively shape the future of the industry.

Exhibitors represent all areas of civil and military aerospace – including aircraft manufacturers, engine suppliers, avionics specialists, MRO providers, technology firms, as well as companies from the infrastructure, defense, and space sectors. Major international corporations regularly use the Dubai Airshow as a stage for world premieres and high-profile business deals – particularly with a view to the Gulf region, which is considered a strategic growth market due to its economic strength and geopolitical significance.

The event targets a professional audience, including airlines, airports, armed forces, government representatives, space agencies, logistics providers, and investors – all seeking access to new technologies, partners, and global markets.

In addition to spectacular aerial displays by international aerobatic teams, the Dubai Airshow is also known for its high-impact strategic deals.

The venue – Dubai World Central – offers a state-of-the-art exhibition infrastructure with excellent accessibility. Located adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport and well connected to the city center via major roadways, it provides ideal conditions for participants from around the world. Beyond its practical advantages, the location embodies Dubai’s vision of a smart, interconnected city of the future.

The Dubai Airshow is therefore more than just an industry exhibition – it is a strategic forum for decision-makers, innovators, and investors who are actively shaping the future of aerospace.

The Dubai Airshow will take place on 5 days from Monday, 17. November to Friday, 21. November 2025 in Dubai.
