Dubai Airshow 2025 isn’t just an event—it’s a launchpad for the future. Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, global leaders across aviation, space, and defence have aligned around a bold vision: innovation at scale, collaboration without borders, and experiences that redefine what an airshow can be.
Where Vision Meets Velocity
– Theme: “The Future is Here” — and it truly is. From sustainability breakthroughs to AI-driven operations and advanced mobility, this 19th edition will be the largest and most future-focused yet.
– Unprecedented scale: 1,500+ companies from 47+ countries, 148,000 visitors, 200+ advanced aircraft, 120+ startups, 50+ investors, and 350+ speakers delivering 350+ hours of insight across 12 conference tracks—including seven brand-new.
Leadership, Alignment, and Ambition
At a pivotal press conference, decision-makers including Paul Griffiths, H.E. Dr. Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, H.E. Omran Sharaf, H.E. Khalifa Al Zaffin, and senior leaders from Dubai Police, the UAE Space Agency, Dubai Airports, and Informa set a clear trajectory. Their message was unmistakable: Dubai is the nexus where technology, sustainability, and global connectivity converge to reshape how the world moves.
“Dubai Airshow 2025 comes at a defining moment,” said Paul Griffiths. “It reflects the UAE’s ambition to lead—and Dubai’s role as a hub for collaboration and a stage for innovation.”
Immersive Innovation, Elevated Networking
– Four conference stages spotlighting sustainability, defence, and space—plus a record-breaking Space Pavilion with a two-day programme and immersive showcases.
– eVTOLs join the flying display for the first time, signalling the dawn of urban air mobility.
– Airshow After Dark reimagines networking with twilight runway-side events and live performances—where deals meet spectacle.
– Global reach, deeper engagement: 396+ delegations from 115 countries, 440 new exhibitors, 18 country pavilions (including a new nation), nearly 100 chalets, 20+ static pavilions, and 8,000 square meters of added exhibition space.
The Dubai Airshow is soaring beyond expectations this year—more than a spectacle of scale, it’s a bold blueprint for the future of aerospace. As Tim Hawes of Informa Markets declares, this is the most ambitious edition yet: from the largest Space Pavilion to the debut of eVTOLs and the launch of Airshow After Dark, the energy is electric and the momentum unmistakable. This is where vision meets velocity.
What sets 2025 apart is its dynamic blend of innovation, engagement, and wellness. Imagine lacing up for a 5K on the runway as part of Dubai Fitness Challenge (30×30), then wandering the static aircraft displays, joining Youth Circles, and sparking ideas in the Inspiration Zone. Savor SkyBites curated by Emirates Flight Catering and Emirates Leisure Retail. Meet Falco, the official mascot, and immerse yourself in hands-on experiences that bring aerospace to life. Wellness takes center stage, too: the XWELL-presented Wellness Zone, the Dubai Health Authority’s Sensory Dome and Breathe In Pod, and health checks by Saudi German Hospital ensure you perform at your peak while exploring what’s next.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and supported by Dubai Airports, the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, the UAE Ministry of Defence, Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects, and the UAE Space Agency—this 19th edition at Dubai World Central (17–21 November 2025) is more than an event.
