Dubai flights: Passengers to get special stamp on passports from November 6

Travellers who are arriving at Dubai's airports from November 6 to 18 will be getting a special stamp on their passports, it was announced on Thursday.

Sharing on the social media platform X, Dubai Airports revealed the commemorative stamp — which was designed for the Dubai Airshow.

Whether they're flying in via the Dubai International Airport (DXB) or Dubai World Central (DWC), all passengers will be receiving the stamp.

The stamp's release comes as Dubai Airshow gears up for its biggest event on record.

Focusing on the future of the aerospace industry, the 18th edition of Dubai Airshow will showcase the latest innovation, trends, and products range that “are going to redefine aviation and space industries”.

The mega event — which runs from November 13 to 17 at Dubai World Central (DWC) — is bringing together more than 1,400 exhibitors from 95 countries. Among them are 400 first-time exhibitors and over 80 startups across sectors, including commercial aviation, advanced aerial mobility, space, defence and military, business aviation, air traffic management, and emerging technology.

Innovations and trailblazing solutions will be unveiled at the mega event for the aviation and aerospace industry. More than 180 of the most advanced commercial, private and military aircraft will go on display, while 20 country pavilions will feature their most innovative products and technologies.

Visitors to Dubai Airshow will be treated with aerial display from manufacturers that will demonstrate their aircraft abilities to the global aerospace industry.
