The organizers of the Dubai Airshow 2025 have officially confirmed that no Israeli companies will participate in this year’s global aviation event.
According to Timothy Hawes, Managing Director of Informa, the company behind the exhibition, the decision is final and reflects the current geopolitical climate. The Dubai Airshow 2025 will take place from November 17 to 21 at Dubai World Central, one of the leading aviation hubs in the region.
This year’s event will host participants from 98 countries and feature over 20 national pavilions, solidifying its reputation as one of the world’s largest aerospace gatherings. The exhibition is known for its massive defense and aviation agreements, drawing global attention for its technological innovation and trade potential.
Last year’s airshow witnessed record-breaking deals worth $101 billion, setting a new global standard for aerospace events. A major highlight of 2025 will be the debut participation of China’s Commercial Aircraft Corporation (COMAC), which will present its aircraft alongside Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer.
Experts say the upcoming airshow will remain a strategic platform for innovation, partnerships, and investments in aviation technology, even in the absence of Israeli exhibitors. The event continues to play a key role in shaping the future of air mobility and aerospace sustainability in the Middle East and beyond.
