What we can see from pilot’s point of view

The 2023 Dubai Airshow tally of 411 passenger Narrow and Widebody commercial aircraft order announcements was 11% lower than the 2021 Dubai Airshow count. However, Widebody orders in 2023 featured much more prominently than they did in 2021, resulting in a total Market Value 46% above the 2021 total.   An analysis of three major biennial airshows (Paris, Farnborough and Dubai) since 2019 is presented below.

From Success to Success...

This year’s Dubai Airshow is set to be the biggest on record, with 1,400+ exhibitors from 95 countries and visitor numbers expected to grow from last year’s edition. The 18th edition of the Airshow presents an opportunity to welcome many new and returning industry stakeholders to the Emirate, and reflect on the recovery and growth of the aviation and wider aerospace sectors in recent years, particularly in the Middle East where passenger numbers continue to rise. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Middle Eastern airlines posted a 27.3 per cent increase in August traffic compared to the previous year; meanwhile globally, traffic now stands at almost 96 per cent of pre-COVID levels. Dubai Airports also announced that it served 41.6 million guests in the first half of 2023, a 49 per cent increase against the same period in 2022, fuelled by a 43 per cent surge in second-quarter passenger traffic. As the aerospace, space and defence industries continue to play a critical role for local, regional and international economies, more than 1,400 exhibitors – including 400 first-time exhibitors and 80+ startups across sectors including commercial aviation, advanced aerial mobility, space, defence and military, business aviation, air traffic management, emerging technology and more will unveil innovations and trailblazing solutions at the industry mega event.

Which Commercial Airshows Saw The Most Orders In 2023? The battle of Paris vs Dubai seems to have been a one-horse race this year, with the bi-annual Paris Air Show dwarfing the number of orders seen in the Middle East at the recent Dubai Airshow. In France, the Paris Air Show was held between June 19th and 25th, with the first four days open only to industry before three more days for the general public. Held at Paris–Le Bourget Airport (LBG), European aircraft manufacturer Airbus saw more than 800 aircraft ordered, casting a shadow on Boeing, which saw around 350 orders, in comparison to Dubai, which saw a total of 246 aircraft ordered at Boeing, versus a mere 66 for Airbus.

2 years ago I was at the last Dubai Airshow - in 2021 the whole market had just been through 18 months of upheaval as a result of COVID. The market was still unsure what the future held as the whole world had seemingly stopped all international travel - the future was "bleak" to put it mildly but the show was a great chance to catch up with clients and candidates and see what the future held. The future at that point looked like Zoom meetings and limited to zero travel - not great for companies in Aerospace... Yet as this year's show starts next week we've seen a huge change in the last 2 years... In 2021 the talk was of the end of the A380 as major users like Emirates looked to put it's whole fleet into storage... Now all those A380s are back in service and seemingly as busy as they ever were. Abu Dhabi's brand new terminal was delayed (again) and huge questions surrounded whether it would ever be finished - yet this year as some delegates arrive for the Airshow will be using the now open terminal. Add to this the new airlines in Saudi Arabia and the overall growth of the industry such that it is almost back at pre-2020 levels and the #dubaiairshow2023 is going to be the biggest show yet. I look forward to meeting clients and candidates safe in the knowledge that whatever the future holds for the aerospace sector we'll face it together and deal with it as we have the last 3 years! #dubaiairshow #aerospaceindustry #futureofaerospace #dubaiairshow2023
