The upcoming Dubai Airshow, scheduled for November 17-21 2025, is expected to reflect a shifting competitive landscape in global aviation. Western manufacturers like Airbus are anticipated to announce major orders—potentially including the A350-1000 for Emirates — as they try to narrow the gap with Boeing, which continues to face delays (such as the 777X programme being roughly seven years behind schedule). Meanwhile, Chinese manufacturer COMAC plans to make the international debut of its C919 aircraft at the show, seeking to challenge the A320neo and Boeing 737 in the Middle East and Africa markets, though it is still years from Western certification. Around 300 aircraft orders could be announced during the show, about half of what was seen at the peak of previous airshows. The event also carries a defence dimension: interest in U.S. stealth jets such as the F-35 is reported to be rising in the region. Russia’s Su-57E and U.S. defence-tech firms like Anduril Industries will also be present, making the Dubai Airshow a focal point for both commercial and military aviation developments.https://wa.me/message/KOZIZEY5B4M7B1

Stock markets in the UAE slid on Friday, November 14, 2025, following hawkish comments from officials at the Federal Reserve (U.S.). These comments dampened expectations that U.S. interest rates would be cut further, with the chance of a December cut falling to 49 % from over 60 % earlier in the week. In the UAE, the Dubai Financial Market General Index fell about 0.7 % — marking its third straight decline — with broad sector weakness. Key stocks such as Emirates NBD dropped about 2.3 %, and Salik fell around 2.1 %. In Abu Dhabi, the index was down roughly 0.4 %. Major stocks like Aldar Properties (-1.6 %) and Presight AI Holding (-6.6 %) also contributed to the weakness, despite reporting annual profit growth. The slide comes amid global equity pressure and shows that the UAE’s markets remain sensitive to global monetary policy shifts.https://wa.me/message/KOZIZEY5B4M7B1

In a strategic push into the African tourism and hospitality market, the UAE has announced a US$6 billion investment plan targeted at the continent, as revealed at the UAE Africa Tourism Investment Summit 2025 held in Dubai under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
