The Dubai Airshow 2025, scheduled from November 17 to 21 at Dubai World Central, is set to make history with its first-ever live demonstration of electric air taxis. This groundbreaking feature highlights the event’s expanded focus on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), a sector that integrates electric propulsion, automated flight systems, and innovative air traffic frameworks to revolutionize urban transportation. The air taxis, known as eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft), will offer attendees a glimpse into the future of city commutes, where such vehicles could become a staple of everyday travel. This year’s Airshow promises to be the most ambitious yet, featuring over 200 aircraft across commercial, private, and military categories — the largest lineup in the event’s history. Notable debuts include China’s COMAC C919 and C929, Embraer’s KC-390 Millennium, Airbus A350-1000, and Boeing 777-219ER. The event will also bring together more than 1,500 exhibitors, 490 delegations, and 350 speakers from nearly 100 countries, solidifying its position as a global hub for aviation innovation. Tim Hawes, Managing Director at Informa Markets, emphasized that the inclusion of eVTOLs transcends mere aircraft display; it represents the convergence of vision, technology, and collaboration to shape the future of air mobility.
