Boeing is highlighting some of its key aerospace and defence programmes and partnerships in the Middle East at the ongoing Dubai Airshow.
“Boeing is privileged to partner with airlines and governments across the Middle East to continue building one of the world’s most thriving aerospace sectors,” said Dr. Brendan Nelson, president of Boeing Global. “Our success reflects the vision and ambition of our partners, from national carriers expanding their fleets to defense customers advancing regional security and innovation. Dubai Airshow is an opportunity to celebrate these achievements, reaffirm our commitment to national visions, and look ahead to the next era of aerospace growth.”
Boeing’s 777-9 is part of the flying display, while other commercial airplanes on display include 777-300ER, 737 MAX, 737 BBJ and 737 BCF. The U.S. airframer’s defense static displays include F-15 Eagle, CH-47 Chinook, KC-46 Pegasus, AH-64 Apache and C-17 Globemaster III.
