The 2015 Dubai Airshow opens on Sunday and despite uncertainties created by a 50-percent dip in oil prices and military conflicts across the Middle East, this year’s event appears to be on track to match the magnitude of the 2013 show. More than 1,000 exhibitors from 60 countries are expected, as well as around 60,000 trade visitors.
Business aviation has a significant presence at Dubai 2015, and the event is being held barely a week ahead of this year’s NBAA Convention in Las Vegas. All the leading OEMs have aircraft on display at the Dubai World Central site: Airbus (ACJ319), Bombardier (Learjet 75, Global 6000 and Challenger 350), Dassault (Falcon 7X and Falcon 900LX), Embraer (Phenom 300, Legacy 500 and 650 and Lineage 1000), Gulfstream (G280, G450, G550 and G650), Pilatus (PC-12NG) and Textron (Citation Latitude and King Air 350ER).
