Two exhibition halls hosting more than 450 exhibitors and international pavilions will showcase a full range of aviation and aerospace services and products to some 45,000 trade attendees.

Women in Aviation Middle East Chapter
The Airshow will also have, for the first time, the participation of the Women in Aviation Middle East Chapter (WAI-ME), a non-profit association dedicated to providing opportunities to women striving for careers in the aviation industry.
Launched in the UAE, this Chapter shines a light on female role models in the Middle East to demonstrate the many opportunities for women in the aviation sector, supporting current and future generations of women to achieve their goals and ambitions as they work side by side with men.
Saudi International Airshow forms part of the Vision 2030 programme as the aviation sector continues to play an essential role in the diversification and expansion of the Saudi economy. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has included women’s rights in Vision 2030, with exhibiting companies are supporting women and making more jobs available in aviation.
“We are delighted that the WAI-ME chapter will join us in February as it will help to cultivate a culture of understanding and appreciation for the Chapter’s vision within the local community, and the region as a whole,” said Samantha Chastang, Executive Sales Manager for the event.
“Women bring so much to aviation and WAI-ME is invaluable in supporting women at an extremely exciting time for Middle Eastern aviation.”
