Why Dubai Air Show is important for the world of aviation
The importance of Dubai Airshow, not just to the Middle East, was emphasised today by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline.

At a press conference in Dubai today, he described the event as an opportunity to reconnect the aviation, aerospace, space and defence industries.
“Based on the number of new participant countries and exhibitors added this year, Dubai Airshow 2021 is set to be bigger and better than the 2019 event,” he said. “Dubai Airshow this year will be futuristic, modern, forward-looking, and creative. It will showcase the future of mobility, space exploration and defence as well as AI, digital transformation and more. We are excited to welcome industry friends, colleagues and newcomers from across the planet to Dubai.
This year, Dubai Airshow will have a major focus on new technologies where exhibitors will be showcasing the latest innovation and state-of-the-art solutions. The brand new conference stage, Tech Xplore, will highlight how emerging technologies are helping reboot aviation and changing the entire flying experience. There will be new conferences focusing on trending aerospace topics like advanced aerial mobility, sustainability, and space, air traffic and cargo. The role of start-ups and entrepreneurs within the sector will also be center stage, with the new East-West startup hub VISTA. Through new activations and competitions, Dubai Airshow is helping to actively encourage bright minds to bring new ideas and creativity to the industry.
Dubai Airshow 2021 will take place at Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai Airshow Site from the 14-18 November 2021.
