'With the industry evolving rapidly, the Ministry of Defence remains committed to advancing innovation and building the capabilities that will define the future of the military sector. Supporting and empowering the next generation of talent is central to this vision, ensuring the UAE remains at the forefront of global progress,' he said. He added that this edition will introduce a new style of corporate networking by hosting a first-of-its-kind event on the runway, bringing together elite figures from the global aviation sector for an exclusive gathering at SkyDive Dubai. This event is expected to be one of the highlights of Dubai Airshow week, offering a mix of entertainment and informal networking opportunities, including drone shows, skydiving performances, music by renowned DJs, and premium hospitality services. The 2025 edition will also introduce its first-ever night-time programming, a unique experience taking place on the second day of the show and continuing until 21:00, providing attendees with additional time to explore the static aircraft display, enjoy evening receptions, and watch drone displays under the stars. In addition to new features, Dubai Airshow 2025 continues to support innovation and key ideas across various sectors. Sustainability will be a key focus, particularly as the industry accelerates efforts to adopt more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. The event will also see the return of VISTA - the premier hub for start-ups in aviation and space innovation and investment - alongside the NextGen Leaders programme and the newly launched Academy, which aims to equip emerging talent with the skills and guidance needed to thrive. Furthermore, the show will offer a range of curated experiences designed to enhance connectivity and sector-wide insight.
