‍SEATTLE — Boeing shines its landing lights on the Dubai Airshow 2025, positioning the event as a milestone in its growing ties with Middle Eastern airlines, lessors, and private aviation customers. 

The manufacturer says the region has become one of its “most thriving aerospace markets,” backed by record orders and expanding long-term partnerships.

The Boeing press release signals the company’s headline appearance to be the Boeing 777-9, featured in both flying and static displays. This is a key opportunity for Boeing to demonstrate the next-generation twin-engine flagship to airline buyers ahead of entry into service. 

The show will also include a full-scale 777X cabin mock-up, allowing visitors to experience the jet’s wider cabin, higher ceilings, and redesigned interior architecture.

Alongside the 777-9, Boeing will display a lineup of in-service commercial aircraft operated by regional customers, including:

• Emirates 777-300ER
• flydubai 737-8
• Royal Jet and Action Aviation 737 Boeing Business Jet (BBJ)
• SCAT and Aloula 737-8 / 737-800
• Aquiline 777-200ER and 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter
• SolitAir 737-800 Freighter

Other Promises to Fulfill

Boeing will also use the show to emphasize its fast-growing services and sustainability portfolio, including digital maintenance tools, training and parts support, and its Cascade Climate Impact Model. This platform helps airlines evaluate decarbonization pathways, including SAF, new-generation aircraft, and operational efficiencies.

As a strategic sponsor of the Airshow’s Aerospace 2050 and Aviation Mobility conferences, Boeing plans to frame its role in the region around long-term fleet renewal, innovation, and environmental strategy rather than just aircraft sales. 

Apart from its commercial and defense metal offering, he company will also participate in the Vista startup hub, highlighting venture-backed projects in advanced mobility, digital aviation, and the energy transition.

The message: Boeing sees the Middle East not only as a major widebody hub, but as a growth engine for new-tech aircraft, cabin upgrades, freighter conversions, and sustainability partnerships, with the 777X program positioned at the center of that narrative.
