Business aviation focus at Dubai World Central (DWC) from November 14-18.

SPONSORED CONTENT – Just as golf and business have long happily co-existed, business and air travel go hand in Velcro adjustable glove.

For busy execs used to sealing critical deals over a round of golf in exotic locations, Dubai Airshow 2021 is the ultimate destination for a more comfortable and connected business travel future.

The thriving business aviation industry is a key focus of this year’s five-day event, set to take flight from Dubai World Central (DWC)’s dedicated Dubai Airshow site from November 14.

One of the few industries that has seen growth despite the impact of COVID-19, business aviation will account for 30% of attendance at the year’s biggest global aerospace event. Similar to other parts of the sector, business aviation is undergoing a digital transformation in order to optimise the performance of operators and provide travellers with a unique smart travel experience.

A showcase of 5G inflight connectivity networks in 2022 for business and private jets by inflight company Gogo Business Aviation is just one example of the innovation set to be unveiled at Dubai Airshow 2021.

For the golfing business person at the highest level, the display of Airbus Corporate Jets recently launched the ACJ TwoTwenty business jet will also be compelling. It features state-of-the-art technology for business travellers including better connectivity, a Wi-Fi system across the entire cabin, as well as advanced technologies such as electro-chromatic windows and LED lighting.

In addition to Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Airports World Company LTD, CAE, Citadel Completions, Comlux, Dassault Aviation, Embraer, Emojet, Gainjet Aviation S.A., Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, and Pilatus Aircraft Ltd will also exhibit at DWC.

With the Expo 2020  (opening Oct.1) site within close proximity, international visitors to Dubai Airshow 2021 will undoubtedly extend their visit to the emirate. And for UAE-based golfers whose commute to work is more likely to be via the humble motor vehicle than a private jet, Golf Digest Middle East can personally recommend the daily air displays where the manoeuvrability of giant passenger planes wows just as much as the multitude of military aircraft.    

Visitor Registration is just US$85 and affords access to all five days of Dubai Airshow 2021. Visit dubaiairshow.aero for full details.

Packed with never-before-seen features, a captivating display of the most advanced aircraft along with unrivalled networking opportunities, Dubai Airshow 2021 is the most important meeting point for aerospace professionals to conduct business and accelerate the post-pandemic recovery to growth.

  • 20+ Country pavilions featuring the most innovative products and technologies
