The 2021 Dubai Airshow promises to be crucial in jumpstarting the aerospace industry’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that wreaked havoc and devastation on the world.

Now, the industry is posed for a recovery and we have seen acceleration in the uptake of new technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, cybersecurity, touchless solutions, 5G, robotics, and automation. Today AI is being leveraged to deliver more personalised travel experiences to reassure customers and enhance customer satisfaction. “Despite all odds, these solutions have served to create new sector-wide opportunities and enhance safety, operations, productivity and profitability. At the upcoming airshow, leading stakeholders will highlight several of these opportunities and new collaborations and deals willbe announced to facilitate and enable rapid recovery of the sector. We, at EDGE, are excited and keen to showcase our aerospace products and services. As one of the few in-person events of its kind this year, the Dubai Airshow is attracting a lineup of leaders dedicated to the industry’s recovery through their actions and new technologies; it promises to be an incredible learning and networking opportunity like no other,” added Al Breiki.
