Dubai Airshow 2025 :Buckle Up for the Future

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the 19th edition of the Dubai Airshow will take flight from November 17-21, 2025, at the Dubai World Central (DWC).

The previous edition reached new heights, becoming the largest in the event’s history. With over USD101 billion in deals announced, a record 135,053 attendees, and participation from 1,400+ exhibitors across 98 countries and 493 official delegations from 97 countries, it showcased its unmatched ability to drive innovation and global collaboration.

The 2025 edition aims to build on this legacy, bringing together the world’s most visionary minds under the theme “The Future is Here” to redefine possibilities in aviation, defence, and space.

Returning with a new brand and visual identity, Dubai Airshow is supported by key aviation industry stakeholders including Dubai Airports, the UAE Ministry of Defence, Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP), the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) and the UAE Space Agency.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group said: “Dubai is proud to continue being at the forefront of the aerospace evolution, providing greater connectivity and benefits to the world. Dubai Airshow is central to the growth and progress of the industry, reshaping its boundaries and creating greater opportunities for global collaboration. We anticipate an even bigger and better showcase in the 2025 edition, creating a new landscape of the industry across nine tracks, with advanced technology and innovative solutions promising to surpass all expectations.” 

Aerial Leap
Dubai is rapidly solidifying its position as a leader in future mobility, with Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) set to be a highlight of the show. The emirate is setting global benchmarks with plans to launch flying taxis by 2026, revolutionising urban transport through an advanced aerial taxi take-off and landing network. These taxis, capable of transporting a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 320 km/h, are set to revolutionise urban mobility.
Alongside AAM, the Airshow will shine a spotlight on Dubai’s ground-breaking efforts in sustainability and space exploration, such as the UAE’s Mars Mission and growing space programmes continuing to inspire global innovation, reinforcing Dubai’s leadership in shaping the future of the sector.
For five days, Dubai will host global leaders, showcasing cutting-edge technology, visionary aircraft, and electrifying displays. An expanded 8,000 sqm exhibition hall meets growing regional demand.

Tim Hawes, Managing Director of Informa Markets, commented: “Dubai Airshow 2025 is where innovation takes flight, set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most dynamic cities. This year’s edition introduces a bold new look that reflects the evolution of the event and its role as a global catalyst for change. Packed with next-generation features and cutting-edge advancements, the rebrand highlights the strength of the event, supported by the patron and stakeholders, accelerating innovations that bring the future of aerospace to the UAE. With record floor space and the largest conference to date, Dubai Airshow 2025 will reaffirm its position as the world’s premier aerospace event.”

New features will include the Training Academy, a dynamic hub for innovation and learning, featuring student exhibits, workshops led by industry experts, and hackathons where participants collaborate to tackle critical industry challenges. Electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) will take flight, demonstrating their advanced capabilities.

In a first at the show, the industry will gather to celebrate aerospace on the actual runway in an exclusive event. With breathtaking views, The Party on the Runway will offer luxury, elegance, and unforgettable networking.
Held over three stages, nine conference tracks will bring together 250+ industry leaders to discuss topics ranging from aerospace technology advancements to sustainable aviation solutions to innovation in space exploration.

Fresh Focus Areas
New themes for Dubai Airshow 2025 include Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), Airport and Airline Keynotes, Workforce Development, and the Partners Programme. Aligned with the UAE’s Emiratisation vision, NextGen Leaders will connect young talent with industry experts.

In partnership and collaboration with the UAE Space Agency, Space remains another core component of the Dubai Airshow and in 2025 will be enhanced with new activations and enhanced content, making it a key showcase feature and knowledge-sharing platform for the space industry in the region and beyond.

Space start-ups will have access to grants, funding, and various investment opportunities, connecting them with corporate partners, investors, and end users.
Vista, a hub for over 120 global aerospace start-ups and 50 investors, will also return. As a start-up platform for innovative entrepreneurs, this year’s event will see more investors, an increased number of mentorship hours and the launch of emerging sectors that are transforming the industry.
