Dubai Airshow's Reach Now Extends Beyond the Middle East
The 2017 Dubai Airshow will include new features such as special emphasis on UAVs, safety and security, space and airport solutions.
Since moving to its new venue at the Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai World Central, the Dubai Airshow has continued to grow, not only in size and capacity, but also in the breadth of its global influence. More expansion is in the cards, beginning this year.

This year’s Dubai Airshow (November 12-16) will reflect the seemingly boundless growth potential of aviation in the Middle East, according to organizer F&E Aerospace, which cited Boeing market outlook statistics projecting a continued annual growth rate for the sector in the region of 3.8 percent. But increasingly, the biennial event’s reach extends beyond the Arabian Gulf states and the aerospace heartlands of Europe and North America, with a growing exhibitor and visitor presence from across Asia and Africa—and particularly from countries such as India and South Korea.
