Bjorn Naf,It was an honour to be part of this world class event that not only broke world records with the mega aircraft orders, but also outclassed other similar international shows by setting a high standard to follow.
President & Chief Executive, Gulf Air
Tony Fitzpatrick,As far as I am concerned, the Dubai Air Show has become one of the most important events in the business aviation calendar. The Middle East has the largest growth rate in aircraft acquisition in the world, which makes DAS even more important to business aircraft manufacturers. The show is ideally located with good hotels and accommodation in Dubai, with excellent event organisation and exhibition facilities.

Elisabeth Palander,Grob Aerospace had a very positive experience at the Dubai Show. The caliber of visitors was very strong and we made some excellent contacts. The Middle East is a strong and growing market and it was encouraging to see the genuine interest in our light business jet, the spn. The organization of the show and the service from the ground handlers was extremely satisfactory.

Theresa Turner,FLIR Systems receives tremendous value through its participation at the Dubai Air Show. It is a world-class forum by which we meet and exchange ideas with our customers and partners. As the world's premier supplier of day-night thermal imaging and surveillance equipment, it makes sense that FLIR has exhibited at the Dubai Airshow over the long term to ensure our message is properly conveyed to our distinguished Arab friends.

Torunn Siegler,The Middle East is an important growing market for us in the military, as well as in the civil sector. We were impressed by the professionalism of the airshow; the support was the best I have experienced so far in comparison to other airshows. The feedback of our Arabian partners was extremely positive. We could intensify existing relations, but also initiate new ones on a very high level. We used the occasion for a VIP customer event, which was a tremendous sucess. We already look forward to the airshow in 2009.
