Short answer
Dubai Airshow is a biennial aerospace exhibition held in odd-numbered years at the Dubai Airshow site at Dubai World Central. The 2025 edition ran from 17 to 21 November 2025, and the 2027 edition is listed for 15 to 19 November 2027 by event listings that reference the organiser. There is no Dubai Airshow in 2026. Aviation suppliers, defence, travel, logistics and hospitality businesses use the show for deals, partnerships and client hospitality. Confirm final dates on the official website.

Planning timeline for exhibitors
Large aerospace shows sell stand space and hospitality chalets well in advance, so exhibitors typically start planning a year or more ahead. Transport to Dubai World Central, staff accreditation, security requirements and shipping of display equipment all need early coordination with the organiser and your stand contractor.
Visitors should also plan early. Meetings with airlines, procurement teams and government delegations are usually booked before the show opens, and hotels across Dubai fill up during show week. A clear target list and pre-arranged meetings make the difference between a busy week and a productive one.
