Dubai Airshow Confirms eVTOL Aircraft Will Feature As Part of Its Flying Display Programme

As the excite­ment con­tin­ues to build for this year’s Dubai Air­show, which is near­ly one week away, organ­is­ers have con­firmed its fly­ing dis­play pro­gramme will fea­ture eVTOL air­craft for the first time.

This land­mark addi­tion to the event, which is from Novem­ber 17th to 21st, will give vis­i­tors a front-row seat to the evo­lu­tion of urban mobil­i­ty.

Com­pa­nies such as Joby Avi­a­tion and Archer are already mak­ing excel­lent progress towards launch­ing com­mer­cial oper­a­tions in the UAE as ear­ly as 2026 or 2027, and it is not known if both firms will fly their air­craft dur­ing the week.

The intro­duc­tion of eVTOL air­craft also aligns seam­less­ly with Dubai Airshow’s enhanced focus on Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) this year.

The 2025 edi­tion will fea­ture the largest and most diverse AAM show­case to date, high­light­ing rapid advances in infra­struc­ture, reg­u­la­tion and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion that are accel­er­at­ing this new era of avi­a­tion.

By spot­light­ing AAM, Dubai Air­show rein­forces its role as a glob­al test­bed for inno­va­tion and a plat­form where the future takes flight.

Tim Hawes, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor at Infor­ma Mar­kets, which organ­is­es this year’s air­show, said: “Every edi­tion of Dubai Air­show is an oppor­tu­ni­ty to raise the bar for the glob­al aero­space com­mu­ni­ty – to bring more inno­va­tion, more ambi­tion, and more inspi­ra­tion to the world stage.

“The intro­duc­tion of eVTOLs into the fly­ing dis­play exem­pli­fies this spir­it. It goes beyond show­cas­ing air­craft; it’s about demon­strat­ing what’s pos­si­ble when vision, tech­nol­o­gy and col­lab­o­ra­tion con­verge. Dubai Air­show 2025 will set the pace for the industry’s future and reaf­firm Dubai’s role as a plat­form for the next era of avi­a­tion.”

The his­toric show­case comes as Dubai Air­show pre­pares to deliv­er its most ambi­tious edi­tion yet. More than 200 air­craft will fea­ture across the fly­ing and sta­t­ic dis­plays, which is the largest in the event’s his­to­ry. The vari­ety will span com­mer­cial, mil­i­tary, pri­vate jets, UAVs and next-gen­er­a­tion tech­nolo­gies.

Dubai Air­show 2025 will take place at Dubai World Cen­tral (DWC), Dubai Air­show Site, under the patron­age of His High­ness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Mak­toum, Vice Pres­i­dent and Prime Min­is­ter of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

With more than 1,500 exhibitors, 490 del­e­ga­tions and 350 speak­ers, and over­all rep­re­sen­ta­tion from over 98 coun­tries, organ­is­ers say this year’s edi­tion is set to be the largest and most future-focused yet.
