The Dubai Airshow – the biggest aerospace event in the Middle East, Asia and Africa – is set to soar higher, with 87,000 attendees and 1,300 exhibitors from all over the world gathering at Dubai World Central – Dubai’s airport of the future.

The biennial airshow will once again take over the skies of Dubai on November 17 – 21, and is expected to surpass the feats of Dubai Airshow 2017, which concluded with an order book worth more than $113.8 billion and welcomed 79,380 attendees and 1,200 exhibitors from 63 countries.

Every two years, the high-profile event becomes the stage where the most advanced aircraft and aerospace technologies are unveiled and introduced to the global market.

This year, the event aims to raise the stakes even higher with exhibits that let visitors glimpse the future of flight.
