Four interactive stages will host sessions that highlight industry shifts, while new initiatives such as the Academy Stage and Vista innovation platform will connect established leaders with emerging disruptors. Visitors can also expect immersive tech demonstrations, startup pitches, and boardroom-style discussions.
Key highlights include the Airport & Airline Keynote Track hosted by Dubai Airports, featuring Paul Griffiths (CEO, Dubai Airports), Sir Tim Clark (President, Emirates Airline), and Tony Douglas (CEO, Riyadh Air), among others. The UAE Space Agency will return with a two-day programme focusing on sustainability, security and orbital innovation, while a dedicated Sustainability track will explore greener skies through cleaner fuels, aircraft technology and supportive policies.
For the first time, the Airshow will host an MRO track, offering practical strategies for smarter maintenance and evolving business models. Meanwhile, the Passenger Experience sessions will address how aviation can deliver smoother journeys and stronger traveller connections. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) will also be in the spotlight, showcasing technologies, policies and partnerships shaping the future of urban flight.
Vista will once again provide a platform for startups and investors to exchange ideas and strike deals in real time. Archer Aviation is among the companies expected to draw attention, with plans to showcase its Midnight aircraft during the event.
