THE WORLD IS COMING TO DUBAI AIRSHOW – YET AGAIN
When the Dubai Airshow opens its doors in a few days at DWC,a the Dubai Airshow site, there will be a larger number of exhibitors and exciting new features in addition to the presence of industry heavyweights and niche companies. With over 1,200 exhibitors expected, including around 100 taking part for the first time, visitors will be able to maximize their networking and business opportunities at the region’s largest aerospace event.
Dubai benefits from a geographical advantage, being situated within eight hours flight of two thirds of the world and has established itself as an aviation hub between east and west as a result of this. The Dubai Airshow has grown exponentially since its inception 30 years ago as the industry recognizes the importance of the region. The event, taking place from 12-16 November 2017, has traditionally attracted leading aerospace companies from across the world and this year seems no exception.
Many exhibitors at the Dubai Airshow cite the international appeal of the show as an important reason to attend. Boeing stated in its latest market outlook that “The region is in the ‘middle’ of massive potential” and the Dubai Airshow is in an ideal position as a central hub, making it perfectly placed for the industry to meet and do business. A large number of exhibitors travel from all around the globe to be part of the show, with 30 percent of exhibitors from Europe and 40 percent from the Middle East, plus many from further afield. In addition, around 10 percent of the exhibitors come from the Americas with the majority of them hailing from the USA and Canada. Among them will be several first-time exhibitors including PBS Aerospace from the USA and Vector Aerospace from Canada. CAE is a returning exhibitor from Canada.
ADS; the UK Trade Association representing companies in the Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space Sectors will be coordinating the UK Pavilion, which this year sees 12 companies from across the country exhibiting.

Among the international majors, Spanish Aistech and Russian Reshtenev are already committed to exhibiting.
Unmanned Aerial Systems
Unmanned Aerial Systems comprise the fastest growing sector of the aerospace industry, according to the Middle East magazine. The global market is predicted to more than double over the next decade, from the current figure of $5.2bn a year to $11.6bn by 2023.
Also new for the 2017 event will be the UAV Summit and pavilion, which will focus on the potential uses of UAVs and address challenges facing the industry. Of particular interest to the defence sector of the aerospace industry, use and abilities of UAVs have been growing exponentially, which presents unique opportunities and additional challenges that the conference will seek to address. Discussions during the two day UAV Summit will include future development and innovation, the opportunities and challenges of civil drone usage, an in-depth perspective on regulations and registrations, and the future of UAVs in the region.
Mohammed Ahli, Director General of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), will give the keynote presentation to open the two day UAV conference. The UAV Summit will include flying displays and the UAV exhibition zone too.

The Cargo Zone will discuss industry regulations, logistics and support services that are specific to the cargo sector. With the world’s leading cargo operator, Emirates SkyCargo, relocating its freighter fleet from Dubai International Airport to Al Maktoum International Airport, this strategically located hub now opens even more doors for business into Europe, Africa and Asia. Dubai Airports Cargo and Logistics head of planning, Youssef Beydoun, will give the opening comments and serve as conference moderator at the Cargo Zone conference, with panel discussions on a wide variety of topics from air cargo safety and security to the vision of e-commerce, facilitation and regulation, among others. Dubai is striving to transform into a key regional hub with a capacity to handle more than 12 million tons of cargo annually.
Airport Solutions
The Airport Solutions conference will return after its debut at the 2015 show, with enhanced size and scope, re-launched by F&E Aerospace as part of the new Airport Solutions Global Series enabling aviation operators to develop a strategy that covers their systems, commercial information, intellectual property and people in addition to aviation activities. The two-day conference will offer leading airport developers and suppliers the exclusive opportunity to interface with airports and aviation leaders on the demand side of the growth equation.
Other Features
Other features include Gulf Aviation Training Event (GATE) and Futures Day, which will have a new format for 2017. With the increase in features in terms of both conferences and pavilions, the 2017 show is looking on track to broaden its appeal to the aerospace industry, cementing the show’s reputation as an unmissable event in the aerospace calendar. “The Dubai Airshow has always represented the center of the aerospace industry,” says Michele van Akelijen, Managing Director of show organizers Tarsus F&E LLC Middle East. “Seeing the geographical representations of this year’s exhibitors, both new and returning, travelling to Dubai to be part of the show demonstrates that the Dubai Airshow really is the place for the industry to do business. We are looking forward to welcoming them all and of course to a successful show.”
