Anticipation builds for first Airtaxi Market Showcase in Dubai

The Market Showcase will provide a platform for electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) companies to demonstrate their capabilities. Companies interested in participating have until Monday, 23rd September, to confirm their involvement and join the lineup.

The event will take place at the Air Chateau Dubai Helipark, where VIP observers, including representatives from airlines, emerging air taxi operators, and other key decision-makers, will witness a dynamic flying display. The showcase will spotlight operations in six key markets: Saudi Arabia, the Maldives, India, the Aegean Islands, London, and the UK. This unique format is designed to generate interest and potentially secure orders for AIRTAXI manufacturers.

"We are thrilled to present our first-ever Market Showcase," said AIRTAXI World Congress President, Mike Howarth. "We still have space for at least one more company to participate in the flying display, but they must contact us immediately to meet the permit application deadline."

The Market Showcase will run from 10:00 to 15:00, including a networking lunch, on the final day of the Congress. The day’s agenda features several regional showcases, including:

• Dubai Special Market Showcase – Featuring test flights in Dubai
• India Market Showcase – Highlighting the country's vast potential
• Island Nations Showcase – Focusing on the Maldives and the Aegean islands
• UK Market Showcase – Exploring the untapped opportunities in the UK
