The last day of November’s Dubai Airshow will be
themed ‘Futures Day’, dedicated to inspiring the UAE’s youth to
become the next generation of aviation professionals as the
emirate celebrates its 40th anniversary.
Running from 13 to 17
November 2011 at the city’s Airport Expo, the Dubai Airshow is one
of the fastest growing aerospace events in the world.
Senior-level students from key UAE colleges and universities
are being invited to Futures Day on the show’s last day (Thursday,
17 November).
“We are launching
Futures Day at this year’s Dubai Airshow to highlight the fact
that it is now vital to prepare training facilities and equipment
to cater to the huge numbers of young people required as pilots
and technicians for this region in the future to keep the
aerospace industry flourishing,” said Alison Weller, Managing Director of
Dubai Airshow organiser, F&E Aerospace. “The thrill of
flying is waiting to be discovered at Futures Day where young
people will have the opportunity to speak to industry experts who
will undoubtedly inspire them to be part of this exciting and
multi-faceted industry and advise them on how they can plot their
education path to achieve a satisfying career in aviation.”
According to Boeing’s Current Market Outlook in May
2011, Middle East airlines will increase their fleet strength by
an estimated 2,340 aircraft, worth US$390 billion by 2029, to meet
the air transport requirements of the region. That fleet growth
will require 32,700 trained pilots and 44,500 technicians.
Running alongside the Dubai Airshow is the inaugural Gulf
Aviation Training Event (GATE), a conference running over two
half-days (14 and 15 November) which will address the future
flight training requirements for the Middle East’s rapidly-growing
air transport industry.
November’s Dubai Airshow
will highlight the rapid development and sustained growth of the
UAE’s aerospace industry within the short span of 40 years, and is
set to be the biggest yet, with up to 1,000 exhibitors expected
from 50 countries, which will attract over 55,000 trade visitors.
