History
The Dubai Air Show was first organized at Dubai Trade Centre in 1986 as a small aviation show, but by 1991 it had grown three times its original size. This was when the Gulf War had started and the dates of the event had to be shifted, while the focus remained on military air machines.
But it was in 1999 that the Airport Expo was built and the show finally got its permanent location where it was held in successive years. However, it was recently in 2011 that the event’s location has changed to Dubai World Central. -
