The Dubai Airshow opened Monday with Al Fursan aerobatic planes painting the UAE flag colours across the sky.
Emirates Airlines kicked off the 19th edition by ordering 65 Boeing 777-9 jets to expand its fleet amid strong travel demand.
Held at Al Maktoum International Airport, the event also highlighted growing interest in flying taxis, with Joby Aviation presenting a demonstration as Dubai aims to launch air mobility services next year.
Military sales remain central to the show, with Russia taking part despite Western sanctions.
