Dubai Airshow 2027
Dubai Airshow returns to Dubai World Central from 15 to 19 November 2027. AeroNL is looking into hosting a Dutch Pavilion at the 2027 show, and we would like to hear whether your organisation wants to be part of it.
The 2025 edition welcomed 248,788 visitors, more than 1,500 exhibitors and 490 military and civil delegations from 115 countries, and the deals announced during that week passed USD 202 billion. The show covers the full breadth of our sector. Commercial aviation and defence share the floor with space, which in 2025 had the largest Space Pavilion in the show’s history, and a programme that brought together 120 startups and 50 investors. For Dutch organisations that means one week in which airlines, governments, suppliers and investors from the region and far beyond are in the same place. The pavilion is open to the whole sector, whatever part of it you work in.
In 2025, 21 countries presented themselves with a national pavilion. A Dutch Pavilion gives our sector a shared and recognisable presence on a floor with more than 1,500 exhibitors. Visitors and delegations can meet several Dutch organisations in one place instead of finding them one by one, and every exhibitor benefits from the attention the pavilion draws as a whole. Because we book the floor space as one group, the combined volume helps us secure a strong location, and AeroNL members exhibit at a discounted rate. We arrange the pavilion itself, from the floor space and the stand to the practical side of exhibiting abroad, so that you can concentrate on your own programme. Funding and subsidy arrangements are for each organisation to look after itself.
Whether the pavilion goes ahead depends on the commitment of Dutch organisations. Exhibiting involves costs, and we cannot yet name a rate, because it depends on the number of organisations taking part and on the options available to us at the show. We will share the figures as soon as they are known. For now, we ask for an early signal, so please let us know as soon as you can whether your organisation is interested. Registering your interest is not binding and does not commit you to anything.
We would welcome the chance to present the Dutch aerospace and aviation sector together in Dubai. To register your interest or ask a question, please contact Suzanne van der Werff at suzanne.vanderwerff@aeronl.com.
