From 17 – 21 November, the skies over Dubai World Central will come alive with cutting-edge aircraft, world-class innovation, and a bold new vision for the aviation and defence sectors.
This year’s edition promises a major transformation, bringing together global industry leaders, creative minds, and fresh talent to shape the next era of aerospace.
And with the UAE’s aviation sector contributing a jaw-dropping $92 billion to the nation’s GDP, it’s clear that the sky’s not the limit; it’s just the beginning.
Innovation meets entertainment
Dubai Airshow 2025 is all about breaking boundaries. This year, it’s introducing a first-of-its-kind runway event at SkyDive Dubai, where aviation’s elite will gather for an unforgettable evening of high-altitude glamour.
Think drone shows lighting up the skyline, skydiving stunts, beats from world-renowned DJs, and luxury hospitality; all with a front-row view of the aircraft that are shaping our future.
For the first time ever, the show will also stretch into the night. On the second day, the action continues until 9pm, allowing attendees to explore the illuminated static displays, join sunset receptions, and take in drone performances under the stars.
A platform for the future
From game-changing tech to sustainable solutions, Dubai Airshow is a launchpad for the ideas that will define aviation in the decades ahead.
