“For many years we have been collaborating and working closely with different defense delegations from across the world for the Dubai Airshow. This engagement has continued virtually throughout the pandemic, and we are now planning on having in-person meetings and sessions at the Airshow itself. 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. Taking center stage will be the different technologies that enhance safety and accelerate efficiency. They will play a key role in the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries getting back to business following the pandemic.”
“A great experience awaits the industry as they once again gear up to the network, discuss the future of the industry and do business at the Dubai Airshow. There will be a high number of attendees from the defense industry at the Airshow and we are very much looking forward to meeting them during the event,” noted Major Gen. Al Balushi.
The UAE has begun opening quarantine-free travel corridors with several nations around the world, which is a significant step toward attracting more travelers and visitors. In addition, as part of its commitment to assure the airport’s full operational readiness, Dubai Airports recently reopened Terminal 1 at Dubai International (DXB) after a 15-month closure. DXB is targeting 28 million passengers in 2021.
