Dubai Airshow to highlight new trends in aerial mobility

Dubai Airshow has confirmed that air mobility market (AAM) will be an integral part of the upcoming edition, taking place from November 13-17 at Dubai World Central (DWC).

The prominence aligns with this year’s theme ‘The Future of the Aerospace Industry’, and will see the launch of a new pavilion dedicated to AAM, where regional and global players can discover the future flight technologies that are set to have a major influence over the way we travel.

Earlier this year HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced that air taxis will begin flying in Dubai within three years. He also approved plans to develop vertiports as part of the emirate’s future air mobility infrastructure network to ease the mobility of individuals across urban areas in a safe, smooth and sustainable manner, with terminal design concepts now being worked on.
