Dubai Airshow 2025. The Brazilian Aerospace Cluster takes a delegation of nine companies to expand business in the United Arab Emirates.

From November 17 to 21, nine Brazilian aerospace companies will take part in the Dubai Airshow 2025, coordinated by PIT, the Technology and Innovation Park São José dos Campos, which manages the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster and carries out, in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), the Aerospace Brazil sector project.

The delegation brings together companies working in aerostructures and high-precision machining, MRO and services for the aircraft life cycle, electronics and embedded systems, advanced materials (metals and composites), engineering and certification, digital solutions and space applications (downstream and upstream). The goal is to generate business, establish technology partnerships and integrate Brazilian suppliers into the global supply chains of OEMs, MROs, operators and integrators present in the United Arab Emirates.

“The Dubai Airshow is strategic to connect our ecosystem to the global supply chains of the Middle East and Asia. We are going to the show with a clear focus on supply opportunities, joint R&D and certifications, the pillars of our 2024–2026 agenda,” says PIT’s International Business Department.

Recognized as one of the main global showcases for innovation, technology and strategic partnerships in the sector, the Dubai Airshow brings together the largest companies and authorities of the aeronautical market, as well as international players in defense, space and advanced air mobility. Brazil’s participation reinforces the country’s position as a reference in engineering, manufacturing and high value-added technological development.

According to Kenzo Takatori, coordinator of the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster, “The Dubai Air Show is a great showcase for the Cluster’s companies, not only for the Middle East market but for the whole world. The agreement with ApexBrasil allows us to promote and generate international business in a market as restricted as aerospace and defense. Brazil’s presence at this show will certainly generate excellent results.”

Taking part in the Dubai Airshow reaffirms the commitment of the Brazilian Aerospace Cluster, Aerospace Brazil and ApexBrasil to promoting the global competitiveness of the Brazilian aerospace industry, positioning the country as an important player in innovation, technology and international cooperation.

Market. Brazilian aerospace exports to the UAE rise sharply

According to data from the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC), the United Arab Emirates was the fastest-growing market among the eight priority target markets of the Aerospace Brazil project in 2025 (aerospace sector data, US$ FOB).

  • +458.4% compared with the previous year, from US$ 4.54 million to US$ 25.34 million in the period analyzed.
  • The second-highest growth was Chile (+180.8%), from US$ 43.03 million to US$ 120.84 million, more than 200 percentage points below the growth seen in the UAE.
  • Across the eight priority markets, sector exports totaled US$ 2.43 billion in the current year, compared with US$ 2.07 billion in the previous year (+17.7%).
  • The United States remains the main destination, with US$ 1.93 billion in the current year.

These results reinforce the prioritization of the UAE in the Aerospace Brazil plan and confirm the Dubai Airshow as a high-impact platform to prospect contracts, map partners and accelerate the international integration of Brazilian suppliers.
