==History==
===1986===
The Dubai Airshow started life as Arab Air in 1986 - a small civil aviation trade show which F&E organised at the [[Dubai World Trade Centre]].
===1989===
The first Dubai Airshow was held in 1989 at Dubai Airport, spurred on by substantial [[Middle East]] investment in civil and military aviation. The Dubai Airshow grew from 200 exhibitors and 25 [[aircraft]] in 1989.
