Dubai Airshow 2009
 

Will soon be upon us, just thinking what BIG orders will be placed.

Last year and the previous year were record orders, will this year be a record smallest orders placed.

Any ideas?

EK to drop Airbus
 

Perhaps this will be the start, EK drops the bus.

It's not an airshow. It's a cockdisplay

So true, so true....

I was actually hoping that things were slowly picking up, at least in business aviation. Have heard of lots of "positive" signs on my trips over the last 2 months or so. However, then along came NetJets US and got rid of some 500 pilots (equates to 100 ac?) so they are obviously not seeing the same positive "signs" that I have been hearing about.... :ooh:

Airline orders? Not likely. Nothing to write home about anyway.

I would not expect any major changes to the current business climate until earliest 2011.

If EK drops the bus, QR will do the same on boeing...:}

Switch on brain before posting
 

If anybody drops anything it will surely NOT be announced at an airshow.
You will find those news on page 62 of Gulfnews one day. Right behind the story about the Mirdif cat strangler.

airshow
 

Is there anyway to go to that airshow without being a "trade visitor"?
Can you make you way tru with a pilot licence?

cheers

From an air traffic point of view, it's ludicrous staging the airshow at the busiest unit in these parts. As though we don't already have enough problems that need taking care of. Let's just add another camel back-breaker!

We have so many other airports that could host the show but I guess it's a case of "it's not OUR airfield":yuk:

A few of you airline types ought to complain and explain how complex airline scheduling is at a hub and what chaos can result when you close a major airport for any length of time.

I was there a few years ago, it was very interesting.
Amongst others, i ran into military top-brass negotiating with a manufacturer of clusterbombs that left "a clean battle field"...
There was a large military static display, alot of US Air Force planes (A10, Stealth Fighter).
At a certain moment the anouncer told that they unfortunately had to interupt the fly by's for the "paying customers of the airport" and in came the Emirates A330's and A340's and other commercial traffic, allowed a slot of only 30 minutes!
Only in DXB they will partialy close a busy commercial airport for an airshow, great!

@Short Approach?

Then all the single Air Hostesses out & about Dubai will be there in big numbers!!!!:}

Tak.......

cockdisplay in dishdashas ...

Yep single air Hosties, there will be more money earnt in the hotels in the next few days...........:}

I am wondering the same thing. Anyone?

I entered with my airline ID and my wife with a business card, it worked back then (2003!!).

I jumped the fence and ran over the runway...the airport is closed isnt it?:}

Actually i think the last couple of days are for the public.
