The highly anticipated Dubai Airshow 2025 is set to return from November 17 to 21, 2025, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Held at Dubai World Central (DWC), this 19th edition will showcase cutting-edge advancements in aviation, defence, and space, cementing Dubai’s reputation as a global leader in aerospace innovation.
Under the theme “The Future is Here”, the rebranded event will unite over 1,400 exhibitors, 493 delegations, and global leaders to discuss pivotal themes, including Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), sustainability, and space exploration. With the emirate’s groundbreaking plans for flying taxis by 2026, AAM will be a key highlight, showcasing a transformative vision for urban transportation.
Building on the success of the 2021 edition, which recorded over USD $101 billion in deals and attracted 135,053 attendees, Dubai Airshow 2025 promises to surpass expectations. New features include a Training Academy, hackathons, and electrifying EVTOL demonstrations. For the first time, the event will host an iconic Party on the Runway, blending networking and entertainment against a stunning backdrop.
Aerospace startups will also have a dedicated platform through VISTA, connecting entrepreneurs with investors, mentorship opportunities, and emerging sectors. Additionally, the NextGen Leaders initiative will spotlight exceptional young talent, aligning with the UAE’s Emiratisation vision.
