Dubai: The largest airshow in the events history will be officially opened by His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, at the Airport Exhibition Centre today. The show will run until November 15.
The 10th Dubai Airshow has attracted 850 exhibitors from 50 countries with 11 national pavilions. Spanning more than 35,000 square metres and with over 140 aircraft on display, the Dubai Airshow has grown enormously over the past years.
