His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has taken to social media to express his optimism about the upcoming 2023 Dubai Airshow, predicting record deals.
With 148 countries and over 1,400 exhibitors participating, the Dubai Airshow is one of the most significant exhibitions in aviation, air transport, defense, and space. Sheikh Mohammed has stated that the deals concluded at the previous session exceeded $74 billion, and expectations are for even greater growth this year.
According to Sheikh Mohammed, Dubai’s growth and excellence are closely associated with aviation, making the UAE a gathering place for global investment opportunities in all economic sectors. As a pilot himself, Sheikh Mohammed has been deeply committed to shaping the history of aviation. In 1986, he inaugurated the first edition of the Dubai Airshow, and in 2003, the event marked a significant milestone with 550 exhibitors from 36 countries.
This prompted Sheikh Mohammed to direct the doubling of the show’s size, and the 2013 Dubai Airshow recorded unprecedented deals worth $206 billion. Looking ahead to the 2023 edition, Dubai is expected to continue shaping the future of global aviation.
