The Dubai Airshow 2021, set to take place in November, will help establish the emirate as the “leading global aerospace hub” for the post-pandemic era, according to a senior official.
The event will serve as a key indicator of Dubai’s success in overcoming the challenges that the pandemic has posed, and moving in the right direction towards achieving a full recovery of the aviation industry, said Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, president of Civil Aviation Authority, chairman of Dubai Airports and chairman and chief executive of Emirates Airline and Group.
He added: “We have crossed many significant milestones this year despite the difficult period. Dubai has been a symbol of resilience and agility in responding to the challenges that the pandemic brought, and we are confident that the collaborative work done by the sector’s key players to restore consumer confidence and boost travel operations will pave the way for a thriving aviation industry.
“Dubai Airshow 2021 will serve as the ultimate testament to the industry’s steady recovery and growth and firmly establish Dubai as the leading global aerospace hub.”
Taking centre stage will be the different technologies that enhance safety and accelerate efficiency. They will play a key role in the aviation, aerospace and defence industries getting back to business following the pandemic.
The UAE recently started opening quarantine-free travel corridors with multiple countries across the world, which counts as a major step for bringing a higher influx of travellers and tourists.
In addition, Dubai Airports recently re-opened Dubai International’s (DXB) Terminal 1, following a 15-month closure, as part of its plan to ensure the airport’s full operational readiness as DXB targets 28 million passengers in 2021.
Dubai Airshow 2021 will take place at Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai Airshow Site from November 14-18 and 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.
Major General Staff Pilot Ishaq Saleh Al Baloushi, Military Advisor to State Minister of Defence and executive director for Military Committee for Dubai Airshow, said: “With the positive sentiment within the industry and the appetite for business continuity, we believe the airshow will provide the ideal event for strategic development and the creation of new partnerships.”
