The Dubai Airshow will emphasize the rise of business aviation and give a forum for industry professionals to define the sector's future through the deployment of cutting-edge technologies. Business aviation is among the primary industries represented at the event, with 30% of those in participation working in the field.
Airbus, Boeing, Airports World Company LTD, CAE, Citadel Completions, Comlux, Dassault Aviation, Embraer, Emojet, Gainjet Aviation S.A., Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, and Pilatus Aircraft Ltd will all be present at the Dubai Airshow 2021.
The Dubai Airshow 2021 will take place from November 14 to November 18 at Dubai World Central (DWC).
Following COVID-19, business aviation has shown to be a more flexible, dependable flight choice that provides safety and security. The expansion of the business aviation industry may help airports, major operators, business aircraft builders, business flight pilots, major service providers, and business aviation customers, hence boosting future economic development.
According to numerous industry forecasts, the business aviation sector is likely to grow even more in the future years. According to the 2020 Honeywell Global Business Aviation Outlook, there would be up to 7,300 fresh business jet deliveries worth $235 billion from 2021 to 2030, with an annual growth rate of 4-5% from 2021 to 2030. According to the survey, the Middle East and Africa will also have increased purchase plans, with such an increase in the number of operators buying additional airplanes.
Business aviation, like other segments of the aviation industry, is experiencing a digital transformation to improve operator performance and give travelers, a one-of-a-kind smart travel experience. For example, the inflight firm Gogo Business Aviation hopes to deploy 5G inflight connection networks to business aircraft by 2022, marking a significant leap in inflight connectivity. Boeing Business Jets has introduced the BBJ 777X, the world's first nonstop business aircraft with a record range of up to 21,570 kilometers. The 777X's lower cabin altitude, additional humidification, and improved three-stage air filtering technology should make it simpler for passengers to breathe.
Airbus Corporate Jets recently introduced the ACJ TwoTwenty business aircraft, which has cutting-edge technology for business travelers, improved connection, a Wi-Fi system throughout the cabin, and innovative technologies such as electro-chromatic windows and LED lighting. The ACJ TwoTwenty business jet pioneered a new market niche, "The Xtra Large Bizjet," by combining unrivaled personal space with a 73m2 floor area and an intercontinental endurance of up to 10,500 miles (over 12 flight hours). It links city pairs such as Dubai-London, Dubai-Tokyo, and Dubai-Perth which is the only business aircraft with six large VIP living rooms of roughly 12m2.
ACJ President Benoit Defforge stated, "ACJ is dedicated to expanding and promoting the regional business aviation industry, which has demonstrated exceptional endurance during the epidemic." More than 60% of large jets and bizliners in the Middle East area are much more than 15 years old. As a result, we are now providing the most recent and modern, comfortable product line jets available today, ranging from the ACJ TwoTwenty to the ACJ350, which both comply well with Middle Eastern customer fleets, and we look forward to explaining our innovation and latest offerings at the Dubai Airshow 2021.”
“We look forward to our involvement at Dubai Airshow 2021 and showcasing our Swiss-made world-class business aviation services to the whole aviation community,” stated Richard Gaona, Executive Chairman & CEO of Comlux. The previous year was hard for numerous industries, notably aviation, although we were able to quickly adjust to shifting conditions while maintaining a high level of service. By our new Comlux commercial office at Dubai DWC airport VIP terminal, we are now accessible to our clients and partners in the Gulf area, and we can welcome guests in our lounge.”
“Despite the pandemic, the business aviation sector proven to be robust, safe, and efficient,” said Ali Ahmed Alnaqbi, Chairman of the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) and Founder and Executive Chairman of MEBAA (the Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association). In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for business jets, and we look forward to seeing additional success in this attractive market. I am delighted to report that we would be accomplished in adopting the necessary steps following the finest global standards to improve the industry and stimulate its growth in the area and around the world in the next years.”
Despite COVID-19's issues, the sector experienced an expansion in private and business aviation, notably in Dubai, which experienced a surge in private and business jet traffic. Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub reported a 336% increase in the circulation of private and corporate aircraft in the first quarter of 2021, compared with the same period in 2020. Furthermore, DC Aviation Al-Futtaim (DCAF), a Dubai-based business aviation operator, saw a 25% rise in private and business jet activity in the first quarter of 2021.
