“It is not just the size that is significant this year but the scale of new-to-market entrants and technology that will be on show,” said Alison Weller, Director, Aerospace Division of Fairs & Exhibitions (F&E), which organises the event.

“Some 130 exhibitors from 24 countries are taking part for the first time — that’s one-tenth of the show’s entire exhibitor profile - and all are seeking emerging opportunities.

“This will ensure the 2007 Dubai Airshow lives up to the event’s well-earned reputation of being a truly B2B forum delivering genuine business outcomes.”

Among the newcomers are the Cayman Islands whose government registry is taking part; Afghanistan, represented by Safi Airways; Luxembourg by maintenance service provider CAE Aviation and the Philippines with Beechcraft spares stockist Aerospace Products International.

Dubai Airshow 2007 will run at Airport Expo Dubai from November 11-15. The event is organised by F&E in conjunction with the Department of Civil Aviation, Government of Dubai and in collaboration with the UAE Armed Forces.
