Dubai all set to host the biggest ever ‘futuristic airshow’
Dubai is all set to host the biggest ever airshow this month as travel restrictions ease around the world and the aviation industry recovers from a turbulent spell brought about by the pandemic, a top official announced.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, the organisers said that the five-day event will attract over 1,200 exhibitors from 148 countries at the Dubai World Central from November 14 to 18, 2021.
In addition, more than 160 aircraft from leading manufacturers and airlines will be on static display. Saudi military jets, the US, Russia and UAE’s own Al Fursan aerobatic team are expected to thrill visitors during the 17th edition of the event.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), chairman of Dubai Airports and chairman and CEO of Emirates Group, said the airshow will be 'futuristic' and showcase the latest developments in mobility, aviation and space.
Responding to a question about a possible aircraft order and deal-making announcements, he expressed positive developments will take place at the event.
"We are positive about deal-making announcement as the aviation industry is recovering fast from the pandemic. Emirates will be making some announcement at the show," he said.
On-site sales topped $54.5 billion
