Abu Dhabi Aviation and Aerospace Week to take place in March 2016

The event will be focused on two locations - Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. It will include six trade, defence, entertainment, and sports components under its umbrella. Set to become a biennial fixture in Abu Dhabi’s calendar of events, ADAAW is anticipated to attract decision makers and international experts from the aviation and aerospace industry, along with a significant number of trade visitors and the general public. 

The event will include the second Unmanned System Exhibition (UMEX Abu Dhabi), first Simulation Conference and Exhibition, third Global Aerospace Summit, and fourth edition of the  Abu Dhabi Air Expo, as well as the first edition of the Middle East Aviation Career Exhibition & Conference and the eighth Red Bull Air Race. 

A number of leading Abu Dhabi-based entities including Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC), Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), Mubadala Development Company, Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC), and the Abu Dhabi Sports Council will join hands in organising ADAAW. 

Mohammed Mubarak Al Mazroui, CEO, Abu Dhabi Airports Company, said: "The Abu Dhabi Aviation and Aerospace Week is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase ADAC’s latest developments in the aviation industry, as well as the continued progress we have made in the development of airports under the ADAC management. Apart from contributing to the realisation of Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, the event will help us cope with the robust growth in the tourism sector, which is driven by the increasing connectivity of our airport with a network of international airports through our national carrier Etihad Airways.”
