The Dubai Airshow 2025 will take place from 17–21 November at Dubai World Central (DWC) under the theme “The Future is Here,” bringing together the world’s top aerospace and defence leaders for what is expected to be the biggest edition in the event’s history.
Now in its 19th edition, the Airshow has become a global platform for innovation, investment, and collaboration, shaping the future of aviation, defence, and space.
This year’s event will feature over 1,500 exhibitors, including 440 new participants, alongside 148,000 trade visitors and 490 military and civil delegations from 115 countries.
The show will include 21 national pavilions, a debut from Morocco, and the largest-ever static and flying displays, showcasing more than 200 aircraft such as the Joby Aviation eVTOL, General Atomics CCA, and COMAC C919.
In partnership with the UAE Space Agency, the Airshow will feature its largest Space Pavilion to date, uniting global space agencies, investors, and innovators. A two-day Space Conference will bring together astronauts and experts to discuss responsible exploration and cutting-edge technologies.
This edition introduces the Airport and Airline Keynote Track, hosted by Dubai Airports, focusing on sustainability, digital transformation, and smarter passenger experiences. CEO Paul Griffiths said the initiative will “unite over 450 voices shaping the future of flight,” including a world-first sustainable aircraft turnaround.
A major focus will also be on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), with the first-ever flying display of eVTOL aircraft in the event’s history.
The Inspiration Zone will serve as a launchpad for startups and innovators, while the Vista hub returns for aerospace disruptors. Sustainability takes centre stage, with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), renewable-powered venues, and eco-friendly stand designs promoting greener aviation.
For the first time, the Airshow will extend into the evening, featuring Airshow After Dark, live entertainment, and drone shows. The public arena SkyView will welcome spectators for breathtaking aerial performances and interactive exhibits.
