Dubai Air Show continues to soar
Dubai Airshow will enter a second successful decade next Sunday, 15 November, with the 11th edition continuing its year-on-year growth by attracting the world's top aerospace manufacturers, suppliers and service-providers.

Running over five days at the city's Airport Expo, Dubai Airshow is the foremost aerospace event in the Middle East and the fastest growing in the world.

Some 890 companies from 47 countries are exhibiting at the Dubai Airshow, an increase over the previous event in 2007 which attracted 850 exhibitors.

To date, 150 new-to-market exhibitors from 20 countries will make their debut at the biennial event, to which up to 50,000 visitors are expected.

Alison Weller, Director of airshow organiser, F&E Aerospace, said:

"It's an exciting moment, with the finishing touches now being put to the exhibition stands and the display aircraft receiving their final polish before they depart for Dubai."

Weller added, "As we prepare for the opening of Dubai Airshow, we are very pleased to confirm that our exhibitor numbers have increased from the 2007 event. This growth is testament to the confidence the aerospace industry continues to show in the Middle East, and in the UAE in particular, as a region committed to the development of commerce and industry."

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Government of Dubai, the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Dubai Airports and the UAE Armed Forces, for their continued support for the Dubai Airshow, without whom we could not have achieved so much in our first 10 years, and I look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial relationship as we enter our second decade," he stated.

Dubai Airshow has increased its floor-space by over 7,000sqm due to the increase in exhibitors, with the addition of the new 'Emirates Hall'.

As sponsor and host, Emirates Airline will be joined in the new hall by, among others, EADS, which will feature two full-scale mock-ups - the Airbus A350 XWB cabin and Eurocopter's 16-seater civilian helicopter, the EC175.

In a glimpse of the future of business aviation, Aerion is showing a scale model of its supersonic business jet, currently in development, which will fly executives at twice the speed of today's conventional business jets.

To date, 130 aircraft will be displayed in the static park, including the 14 aircraft types participating in the daily flying display.

The display will feature the Italian Airforce's Frecce Tricolori and Patrouille de France aerobatic teams, displaying the capabilities of the Aermacchi MB339s and the Alpha Jet trainers, respectively.

They will be joined by the US Air Force's F22 Raptor, the Eurofighter Typhoon of the UK's Royal Air Force and the L-15 Falcon jet trainer from China-based AVIC, the first time a Chinese-manufactured trainer is being sent to an international airshow.

Over 400 official delegations have been invited to attend the event as part of the Dubai Airshow Delegations Programme, which is co-ordinated by F&E Aerospace, in conjunction with the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, the Government of Dubai and the UAE Ministry of Defence.

To date, 13 country and national pavilions have been booked from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Florida, France, Germany, Jordan, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine, UK and USA.

The number of hospitality chalets has risen to 103, with the floor-space of the 85 double-storey chalets enlarged by 40sqm (20sqm on each floor), and the chalet row is further enhanced by 12 purpose-built pavilions.

Weller commented, "Our long-standing relationship with the region has given us first-hand experience of the rich facets of the Arabian heritage, one of which is the tradition of the 'majlis', a meeting place for face-to-face discussion, negotiation and deal-making. We are reaffirming the importance of this essential part of Arabian hospitality by carrying on the tradition and increasing the number of chalets and pavilions."

The Dubai Airshow is open to industry-linked visitors only. Tickets are now on sale at dubaiairshow.aero/visitors/registration and visitors are strongly recommended to purchase and register tickets online to avoid queuing at the box office when the show opens.

Top 10 reasons to visit the Dubai Airshow
In November 2007, the Dubai Airshow made headlines around the world. Over the five-day show the order book mounted up to a record breaking US$155.5 billion. In 2007, the airshow also achieved a 33% increase in trade visitors to a new record of 45,421, and some 140 aircraft jostled for space on the static park, creating one of the biggest aircraft displays in the world.

For 2009, the order book may close the show a little lighter than in 2007, but with the Middle East aviation industry still showing strong and steady growth, the Dubai Airshow has become one of the most important events in the global aviation calendar. Taking place from 15-19 November at Airport Expo, the show promises to be a hotbed for local and foreign aviation investors, so in case you have any doubts as to why you should go along, follow our 10 reasons to visit the Dubai Airshow 2009.

1- The Emirates Hall

New for 2009 is an additional exhibition hall; the Emirates Hall. This is not the first time the event has required further exhibition space, but it was even more necessary this year after it became evident that the show, which was meant to be have been held at the brand new Al Maktoum International Airport in Jebel Ali, would in fact remain at the Airport Expo site. The Emirates Hall – named after its host and sponsor Emirates Airline – provides an additional 5000 square metres of exhibition space, an increased press centre and an extra registration building to accommodate trade visitor traffic.

2- Source suppliers

With an estimated 50,000 aviation professionals gathering in one place, an abundance of product and services suppliers have signed up to exhibit their latest offerings to the Middle East aviation market. The event is expected to attract 10% more exhibitors than in 2007, taking the total number of exhibitors to more than 900. From aircraft interiors to training and simulation systems to airplane engines, the depth and breadth of exhibitors is exactly why the Airshow has become one of the world’s leading aerospace events. Some of the biggest names to visit include Airbus, Boeing, Dubai Aerospace Enterprise and Emirates.

3- Be entertained

Visiting one of the 114 chalets will ensure that you receive a welcome that is brimming with hospitality.

The chalets serve as hives of corporate entertainment and for 2009, 11 double-storey versions have been added. A total of 325,513 square metres have been given over to entertain guests, host lunches and hold meetings, all while overlooking the static park and views of the afternoon flying displays.

4- Meet new-to-market companies

Dubai Airshow organiser F & E Aerospace admits that the number of returning exhibitors has dropped compared to previous years, but a number of new customers have signed up after witnessing the growth of passenger traffic in the Middle East. Abu Dhabi is playing a major role in this year’s event. A key new exhibitor is the Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC), which is using the Airshow as a platform to introduce itself to the international market; a sector in which the company is still young and largely unknown. Additionally, the Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Development Company, although an exhibitor at the 2007 event, will have a much bigger presence at this year’s show as the host sponsor, signifying that the investment arm of the Abu Dhabi government is quickly establishing itself as a key player in the regional aerospace industry.

5- Network and socialise

With conferences, dinners, receptions and award ceremonies aplenty it is important to make the most of your time. The highlight of the Dubai Airshow networking calendar is the gala dinner on November 17. Attendance is by invitation only, but the 3000 guests that are lucky enough to receive an invite to the luxurious Emirates Golf Club will be treated to a star performance. Previous years have seen singers Rod Stewart, Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder wowing the crowd and this year’s performer will be blues legend, George Benson. Arguably less glamorous, but equally as entertaining is the MEBAA cocktail reception on November 15 and the Aviation Business Awards on November 16. In addition, a golf tournament takes place on November 18.

The visitor lounge at Airport Expo allows time for a breather.

6- Outdoor static display

Some 107 aircraft will feature on the outdoor static display this year. This is a significant drop from last year’s 140 aircraft, and indicative of the financial impact felt by the aviation industry over the last few months. However, Airbus will be bringing its superjumbo A380, which, some would say, leaves little room for much else. So it could be just as well that all of the other aircraft are somewhat smaller in size. Bombardier will be showing off its Learjet 60 XR and the Cessna Aircraft Company will be making its presence felt with a minimum of seven aircraft on display. Boeing will also be participating with a number of aircraft types and in terms of cargo carriers, check out Midex and Maximus’ offerings.

7- Military talk

Civil aviation is always the first to hit headlines during any global airshow, but at the Dubai Airshow, the military sector is a key aspect, making up 40% of the total number of exhibits displayed. Take a trip outside to see a full-scale replica of the Eurofighter, and attend the Air Chief’s conference on Saturday for unmissable key military insight.

8- Back to business

The Middle East region is a hotbed of opportunity for business jet suppliers and the Dubai Airshow always hosts a large number of business aircraft providers. Eurocopter will bring a full-scale mock-up of its 16-seater civilian helicopter, the EC-175, while Aerion is showing a full-scale mock-up of its supersonic business jet.

9- Make history

We know it was said in 2007, but this really is likely to be the last time the Dubai Airshow is held on the site of Airport Expo. In 2011, it is expected to decamp to the giant airport in Jebel Ali, where it can spread its wings, so to speak. The event’s director Alison Weller revealed that the move would open up opportunities for the show to welcome the public after the trade days were concluded. This would be in-keeping with the traditional format of other international airshows and would do much for Dubai’s tourism figures. However, Weller did not confirm when this move would be introduced.

10- Close the deal

At the end of the day, the Airshow is about making money and although it will be hard to beat the US$155.5 billion worth of deals announced in 2007, the organiser is hoping a number of big deals will be struck. No one expects the order book to break records this year, but as we head into 2010, the Middle East aviation industry remains in a buoyant state, so expect some big announcements to be made.
