Dubai Airshow 2021 will showcase the critical role that aviation, aerospace, space and defence continue to play at a global level.

Based on the number of new participant countries and exhibitors, it's set to be bigger and better than the 2019 edition.

That's according to His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, who said the event is a testament to the UAE and Dubai’s response to the pandemic. 

He added that the show will be futuristic, modern, forward-looking, and creative, showcasing the future of mobility, space exploration and defence as well as AI, digital transformation and more.

The global aerospace event will take place at Dubai World Central from November 14-18.

This year, Dubai Airshow will have a major focus on new technologies where exhibitors will be showcasing the latest innovation and state-of-the-art solutions.

The brand new conference stage, Tech Xplore, will highlight how emerging technologies are helping reboot aviation and changing the entire flying experience.

There will be conferences focusing on trending aerospace topics like advanced aerial mobility, sustainability, and space, air traffic and cargo.

The role of start-ups and entrepreneurs within the sector will also be centre stage, with the new East-West startup hub VISTA.

Dubai Airshow will be held with the support of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Dubai Airports, the UAE Ministry of Defence and Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects, and organised by Tarsus Middle East.
