Inaugural Egypt International Airshow to Spotlight Egypt’s Defence Prowess

Egypt International Airshow, which will take place between 2 and 5 September 2024 at the new El Alamein International Airport, will showcase the country’s unique position as a leader in defence aviation across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. 
 
Egypt’s strategic position as a global defence ally makes it an ideal host for this pivotal event. The country continues to rank among the top 15 military powers in the world, with one of the largest Air Force in the Middle East and North Africa. It has also committed to modernising its combined aerospace forces across all domains. 
 
With over 250 local, regional, and international companies expected to attend, the Egypt International Airshow will offer a unique platform for defence industry professionals, military and government officials to foster meaningful connections, exchange ideas, and discover new possibilities in the rapidly evolving defence aerospace landscape, across Egypt, the Middle East and Africa. It aims to accelerate industrialisation, digitalisation, and globalisation in the aerospace, aviation, defence, and space sectors in the MENA region.
 
The Airshow is officially supported by a number of strategic defence partners, including the Egyptian Ministry of Defence and Egypt Air Force. In addition, the event includes the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Egyptian Space Agency and EgyptAir as strategic partners.
 
At a recent press conference, Air Marshal Mahmoud Fouad Abdel-Gawad, Commander of the Egyptian Air Force, stated that the exhibition aims to open new horizons of cooperation between Egypt and other nations worldwide across multiple domains. He highlighted that the exhibition is a great opportunity to discover new avenues for addressing the challenges within the defence industry.

The Commander expressed optimism that the inaugural edition of the Egypt International Airshow will showcase the essence of the country’s uniqueness, the authenticity of its people, and the exceptional dedication of its valiant armed forces.
 
Thomas Gaunt, CEO of Arabian World Events, the organisers of Egypt International Airshow, said: “Egypt’s strategic importance in MENA enhances its role in global geopolitics and its position as an important regional military power, making it the ideal host for this pivotal international event.”
 
The Egypt International Airshow 2024 will directly address the needs of end users, with the exhibition covering a broad range of technology and taking a joint approach to deliberate aerospace requirements of the Air Force, Air Defence, Army, Navy and Space Forces across all domains.
 
Sitting alongside the main exhibition, the Air Power Conference at Egypt International Airshow 2024 will bring together military aerospace operators, research and development and industry leaders to deliberate the current threats faced, operational requirements, emerging capabilities, and approaches to integration. The Airshow will represent a unique opportunity to communicate the specific needs of defence aerospace stakeholders across the MENA region.
