A targeted public relations programme for the Dubai Airshow 2019 has already commenced and involves the national daily press throughout the Gulf states, selected Pan-Arab business and professional magazines and regional and international publications for the aerospace and aviation industries. 

 

The public relations programme will ensure regular and extensive exposure throughout the world and is expected to include radio and television exposure. 

 

Promotional material will be distributed throughout the region through trade and industry groups, government ministries, chambers of commerce, civil aviation authorities, airlines and embassies and direct to many thousands of potential visitors involved in all aspects of the industry.

It is an established fact that exhibitors who take steps on their own account to supplement the Organisers’ publicity as described above will obtain far greater value from participation than those who neglect the opportunity.

 

By conducting their own separate mailing, mounting a specific publicity campaign and paying special attention to the distribution of promotional material, exhibitors can greatly increase the level of response they receive from local visitors.

You can also join our Dubai Airshow 2019 new sharing group exclusively for media and exhibitors here. 

 

Please also contact Kate with details of your own plans for the Dubai Airshow 2019 – we would love to include exhibitor information in our press and social media campaigns, or quotes from your spokespeople. Please contact Kate directly to find out more information regarding this.

Aviation trade media, local and international newspapers and tv stations will all be attending the Dubai Airshow 2019, actively looking for news and stories to publicise to their audience.

Please note that our team has an extremely tight schedule and are therefore unable to accommodate requests for specific images or shots. Should you require photos be taken to your own brief, we suggest that you hire your own photographer – we are happy to provide a list of local photographers for your consideration if you require it. 

There will also be publications producing show dailies on site at the Dubai Airshow. The official show daily producers are: Arabian Aerospace, Aviation International News, Aviation Week, Flightglobal and Nation Shield.  Their contact details can be found on our website here  and we highly recommend you get in touch with them ahead of the event to share your news. Please ensure that if  you arrange a meeting or interview with the show dailies ahead of the official opening day, that each interviewee is in possession of an exhibitor pass in order to access the hall. Those holding visitor passes will not be granted access before the show has opened, even with an appointment.

 

Dubai Airshow also works with a select group of trade and business media as media partners and you can find a list of them here.  

 

Official PR agencies retained by exhibitors at the Dubai Airshow are welcome to request the registered media database and to get in contact with Kate to discuss opportunities. In addition, they can upload information to the digital press box or book press conference rooms on behalf of their clients, however please ensure that you provide them with your EOS login details directly as we are unable to do this. 

 

Please note that PR Agency staff are not eligible for Press Badges and will not be granted access to the show, or the press centre as media. If you work with a PR Agency and would like their staff to attend, then please ensure that they are provided with exhibitor passes from your allocation, or alternatively they can register as visitors.
