Dubai Air Show Celebrates UAE’s 40th Anniversary
Dubai Air Show Salutes the UAE’s 40th Anniversary

A record number of exhibitors, maiden Dubai appearances of high-profile aircraft and the debut of the UAE Air Force’s flight display team are among the highlights of the Dubai Air Show 2011. But organizers note an even bigger milestone will be observed at this year’s show: The 40th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates.

“We’re asking all exhibitors and attendees to join in and celebrate with us,” said Alison Weller, managing director of show organizer F&E Aerospace. “The world media comes to Dubai for the airshow, and we want to showcase to the world how far we’ve come.”
