Dubai Airshow 2025 is set to propel Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) into the global spotlight, bringing together industry pioneers, disruptors, and policymakers for the event’s largest and most diverse AAM showcase to date. From 17–21 November 2025, the Dubai World Central (DWC) site will transform into a hub for unveiling the latest in aircraft, infrastructure, and regulatory advancements—as the city prepares to introduce electric flying taxi services as soon as next year.
This year’s Airshow will feature over 1,500 exhibitors from around the globe, more than 200 aircraft on display, and 12 conference tracks hosting upwards of 350 expert speakers. As the UAE nears a pivotal milestone in aviation, the AAM programme promises a dynamic agenda filled with aircraft debuts, breakthrough technologies, policy developments, and a curated calendar of keynotes, panel debates, and networking opportunities designed to accelerate the path to commercial operations.
One of the week’s highlights, the AAM Pavilion, will act as a nucleus of innovation, presenting full-scale eVTOLs and drones—some of which may even take flight beyond the exhibition floor. This, paired with headline-grabbing announcements and a global assembly of decision-makers, ensures the Pavilion remains a focal point in shaping the next era of mobility.
On the Aviation Mobility Stage, with support from Archer Aviation, Joby Aviation, Inventechs, and others, leading voices will guide discussions on the future of flight. Both Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation are set to showcase their latest aircraft developments and market strategies, while companies such as Autocraft, Eanan, and WeFly will present their cutting-edge innovations.
According to Anthony Khoury, General Manager – UAE at Joby Aviation:
“The Dubai Airshow’s focus on Advanced Air Mobility is a testament to the UAE’s leadership in a new era of flight. The energy and ambition here perfectly align with the global movement to bring quiet, clean, and fast air travel to communities worldwide. We are proud to be exhibiting at this year’s airshow, where we will showcase the progress we’re making toward making this a reality.”
Waleed Alblooshi, Director of Corporate Communications at K2, emphasized the strategic role of the Airshow:
“At Dubai Airshow, we are proud to showcase our eVTOL innovation through Autocraft, a UAE subsidiary brand under K2 based in Abu Dhabi. This platform is a vital opportunity to demonstrate how advanced air mobility can transform the way we connect our cities, enhance efficiency, and support the UAE’s sustainability and innovation goals.
Beyond unveiling our eVTOL model, we are creating a unique Advanced Air Mobility experience at our booth—where visitors can step into a first-class lounge–style vertiport and experience the future of travel. Looking ahead, we are committed to mass-producing our eVTOLs in Abu Dhabi, positioning the UAE as a global hub for advanced aviation manufacturing. By building these aircraft at scale locally, we will create new industries, transfer knowledge, and inspire the next generation of Emirati talent to lead the skies of tomorrow. Dubai Airshow is more than an exhibition — it is a global stage for the nation’s vision in aviation.”
First-time AAM exhibitors further illustrate the sector’s rapid progress: Sarla Aviation from India and TransFuture Aviation from China will join the AAM conference programme for the first time, reflecting the growing international interest and momentum across infrastructure, regulation, and certification in AAM.
The programme will be officially opened by Saif Mohammed Al-Suwaidi, Director General of the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority, who will outline the nation’s roadmap for a truly connected and sustainable airspace. Other key highlights include a CEO address from Adam Goldstein, Founder & CEO of Archer Aviation—”State of the Industry: The Archer Vision – Making Air Mobility Real”—along with insights from JoeBen Bevirt, CEO of Joby Aviation, and Omran Malek, Head of the SAVI Cluster at Abu Dhabi Investment Office, among additional industry leaders driving AAM integration.
Skyports will play a pivotal role in the AAM Pavilion, showcasing the strategic importance of developing vertiport infrastructure for a thriving AAM ecosystem.
Damian Kysely, Head of EMEA at Skyports Infrastructure, commented:
“The UAE has taken a leading stance on AAM, and as the world’s leading vertiport infrastructure developer Skyports sees strong value in exhibiting at Dubai Airshow. With our first commercial vertiport, adjacent to Dubai International Airport, well under construction, and with us close to breaking ground at three further vertiport sites across Dubai, this event provides the perfect platform to showcase our momentum and expertise, especially as we look to activate further vertiport projects across the UAE.
Being a part of the AAM pavilion gives us a strong platform to show international delegates the vital importance of vertiport infrastructure within the wider AAM ecosystem, and the strength of our relationships with aircraft OEMs, proving why we’re the go-to vertiport infrastructure partner globally.”
With an unmatched mix of innovation, global participation, and strategic industry vision, Dubai Airshow 2025 will stand at the forefront of shaping the future of air mobility—both regionally and worldwide.
