Brief History
The Dubai Airshow started life as Arab Air in 1986 - a small civil aviation trade show which F&E organised at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Bill Kern, founder of F&E, is seen in the foreground. Spurred on by substantial Middle East investment in civil and military aviation the first Dubai Airshow was held in 1989 at Dubai International Airport.
The show enjoyed rapid growth with the 1991 show already three times larger than the previous show. Due to the outbreak of the Gulf War the event was moved from January to November and had a strong military focus given recent events in the region. The show’s rapid growth continued as was evidenced in the new, purpose built exhibition centre – Airport Expo – where the show has been held since 1999.
