The Dubai Air Show is the place to be: the golden door to a booming aerospace and defence market of high technology and capabilities.

It was an honour to be part of this world class event that not only broke world records with the mega aircraft orders, but also outclassed other similar international shows by setting a high standard to follow.
Bjorn Naf,
President & Chief Executive, Gulf Air
As far as I am concerned, the Dubai Air Show has become one of the most important events in the business aviation calendar. The Middle East has the largest growth rate in aircraft acquisition in the world, which makes DAS even more important to business aircraft manufacturers. The show is ideally located with good hotels and accommodation in Dubai, with excellent event organisation and exhibition facilities.
Tony Fitzpatrick,
Sales Director, Middle East, Embraer Executive Jets
This years record breaking Dubai Airshow was the most user-friendly event of its kind anywhere in the world.

FLIR Systems receives tremendous value through its participation at the Dubai Air Show. It is a world-class forum by which we meet and exchange ideas with our customers and partners. As the world's premier supplier of day-night thermal imaging and surveillance equipment, it makes sense that FLIR has exhibited at the Dubai Airshow over the long term to ensure our message is properly conveyed to our distinguished Arab friends.

The Dubai Airshow is the largest aviation event in the world's fastest growing region, so it is appropriate that, as the market leader in private aviation, we should maintain our visibilty and presence in this fast growing industry.

The depth and breadth of exhibitor and the high quality of visitors attending this show, has helped establish the Dubai Airshow as one of the world's leading aerospace events. We will most certainly be attending the 2009 outing.

The Dubai Airshow is an important strategic event which not only enables us to meet our existing high profile customers based in the Middle East but also to make our presence known to prospective new clients.

Over the years, the Airshow Gala Dinner has attracted top international performers and has proven to be one of the most popular social events on the Airshow calendar.
HH Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum,
President, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority & Chairman Of Dubai Airports, Chairman of Emirates Group
The Middle East is an important growing market for us in the military, as well as in the civil sector. We were impressed by the professionalism of the airshow; the support was the best I have experienced so far in comparison to other airshows. The feedback of our Arabian partners was extremely positive. We could intensify existing relations, but also initiate new ones on a very high level. We used the occasion for a VIP customer event, which was a tremendous sucess. We already look forward to the airshow in 2009.

The Middle East region continues to thrive as one of today's most significant business aviation markets.
