Dubai Airshow to be bigger, better in 2017

Dubai Airshow anticipates over 20pc growth by 2017

DUBAI, October 8, 2015

Organisers of the upcoming Dubai Airshow, scheduled for November, are already looking at expanding its 2017 event by more than 20 per cent following the current flood of demand for exhibition space, said a report.

The airshow exhibition site at Dubai World Central, which currently measures 46,650 sq m, will see an additional 10,000 sq m extended, depending on demand, Arabian Business reported.

Expected to be its biggest event yet, Dubai Airshow anticipates over 1,100 exhibitors from 60 countries in attendance, ranging from first-timers such as to the industry stalwarts.

The static area will consist of 163 aircraft, including a Boeing P-8 military jet, a Qatar Executive G650ER, and an Emirates Airline Airbus A380, plus aircraft from Bell Helicopter and Airbus. The airshow will also display drones – or unnamed aerials vehicles (UAVs) - for the first time, the report said.

Some of the other new additions to the event include a 3D Print pavilion and participation from the newly-formed UAE Space Agency, it said.
