Show organizer F&E Aerospace has designated Thursday as the Dubai AIr Show's inaugural Futures Day, which will be dedicated to inspiring the UAE’s young people to build careers in the industry. The day will focus on the recruitment, education, and training of home-grown talent. Accordingly, senior-level students from key UAE colleges and universities have been invited to attend the event. The United Emirates will begin celebrating its 40th anniversary in December.

“We are launching Futures Day to highlight the fact that it is now vital to prepare training facilities and equipment to cater for the huge numbers of young people required as pilots and technicians for this region in the future to keep the aerospace industry flourishing,” explained F&E Aerospace managing director Alison Weller. “The thrill of flying is waiting to be discovered at Futures Day where young people will have the opportunity to speak to industry experts, who will undoubtedly inspire them to be part of this exciting and multi-faceted industry and advise them on how they can plot their education path to achieve a satisfying career in aviation.”
