Dr Brendan Nelson, president of Boeing Global, said: "Boeing is privileged to partner with airlines and governments across the Middle East to continue building one of the world’s most thriving aerospace sectors. 

"Our success reflects the vision and ambition of our partners, from national carriers expanding their fleets to defence customers advancing regional security and innovation. Dubai Airshow is an opportunity to celebrate these achievements, reaffirm our commitment to national visions and look ahead to the next era of aerospace growth."

Boeing is a strategic sponsor of the Airshow’s Aerospace 2050 and Aviation Mobility conferences, with a focus on innovation, collaboration and sustainability. This follows record orders for the company in the Middle East, driven by significant new airplane orders, expanding defense collaboration and deepening partnerships with governments, airlines and lessors shaping the region’s role as a global aviation hub.

The exhibit will host the Boeing Cascade Climate Impact Model, a data-modeling and visualisation tool that assesses options to reduce aviation’s footprint. Boeing is a strategic partner of the Vista startup hub and members of the company’s venture-capital team will showcase a selection of companies driving innovation across advanced mobility, digital aerospace and energy solutions.
