Dubai Airshow 2025 is back on November 17-21 at Dubai World Central (DWC), and this year’s event is expanding beyond the usual business focus. The 19th edition will bring a fresh mix of aviation showcases and lifestyle-driven experiences.

One of the biggest changes this year is the introduction of Airshow After Dark. For the first time, visitors will be able to explore aircraft displays after sunset, complete with drone shows lighting up the sky.

 

Another addition is Party on the Runway, hosted at SkyDive Dubai. The programme includes live DJ sets, skydiving shows, food stations, and drone performances, aiming to make industry networking feel more social and engaging.

The Wellness Zone will offer a break from the main show floor with activities to recharge, while the Inspiration Zone will feature speakers and performances focused on creativity and innovation in aviation.

 

Visitors will also have access to Skyview, the public-facing area of the Airshow, which includes flying displays, entertainment, and interactive experiences.

From a business perspective, the Dubai Airshow continues to be a major event in the global aerospace calendar. It will once again host VISTA, a space for aviation start-ups, as well as the NextGen Leaders programme and a new Academy aimed at building industry talent.

Whether you’re an aviation professional, tech enthusiast, or simply curious about aircraft and innovation, Dubai Airshow 2025 offers something for everyone. Mark your calendar for November 17-21 and keep an eye out for more updates as the event approaches.
