“This unique global event offers an ideal opportunity to engage with decision makers and stakeholders, and discuss the latest technological advancements in the aviation and space sectors. This coincides with the strategic national developments in both sectors, and their ever-increasing role in economic diversification and sustainable growth,” he added.

“Our presence at the Airshow clearly reflects the joint strategic cooperation between the two countries in the aviation and space sectors, the latest of which was the joint Emirati-Bahrain satellite ‘Daw'a 1’, launched to the International Space Station last year,” Al Qubaisi concluded.

The UAESA’s participation in the biennial event aims to highlight the latest developments across the UAE’s ambitious space projects and R&D efforts, as well as
