A bigger edition

Dubai Airshow 2023 is poised to surpass its previous edition’s success. With expectations of attracting over 100,000 visitors, this year’s attendance could exceed the remarkable turnout in 2021, which was 104,165.

The airshow’s economic impact is also not to be underestimated, as the 2021 edition generated a staggering $74 billion in orders, primarily from the commercial aviation sector. Leading the charge in placing significant orders were industry giants such as Indigo Partners, Akasa Air, Jazeera Airways, Air Tanzania and Nigeria’s Ibom Air.

The conduct of a bigger edition of the anticipated air show also coincides with the global aviation industry’s continued growth.

According to recent estimates, it supports 87.7 million jobs around the world. Meanwhile, in terms of economic impact, it contributes $3.5 trillion (4.1 percent) to the global gross domestic product. It will rank 17th if the industry is a standalone country.

Looking ahead, the aviation market could see more significant growth, with forecasts predicting support for 143 million jobs and a $6.3 trillion contribution to the global economy by 2038.
