Dubai Airshow 2021 kicks off with expectations of big deals
The rise in attacks around the region in recent years using drones pushed the sales of UAV technologies in the Middle East to reach $1.5 billion over the last five years.
The Dubai Airshow 2021 kicked off Nov. 14, nearly two years after the travel and airline industries came to a near standstill.
The 17th edition of the international show is the first major global aerospace exhibition to be held since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, in a sign indicating that the world has started to regain some of its normality.
This year’s airshow features more than 20 country pavilions along with an aircraft display of over 160 commercial, military and private jets, among them the latest Boeing 777x and Bombardier Global 7500, according to the event organizer, Tarsus Middle East.
For the first time, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Brazil, Slovenia and Israel are taking part in the international aerospace event that has been organized since 1989.
