This is the grand finale video of the most extraordinary and largest edition of Dubai Airshow.

The Dubai Airshow 2023 features 190+ aircraft on static and flying display, a showcase of over 1,400 exhibitors and over 100,000 visitors. I started my visit to the airshow by flying over the entire site onboard a helicopter by Air Chateau.

There are many aircraft to visit. First, I visited the Boeing 777X; the world’s largest twin-engine aircraft and received updates from the crew and engineer at Boeing. Then, I went on board the new branding of SAUDIA B787-10. Next, I visited Beond Airlines, all Business Class leisure airline flying to and from the Maldives. The world’s first Passenger to Freighter A320 is also on display with India’s Pradhaan Air as the operator.

I interviewed Egypt Air Chairman and CEO Eng. Yahia Zaharia about their latest orders inside the new Egypt Air A321neo. Then I checked out the β€œBig Twin” which is the world’s first B777-300/ERSF converted freighter. Riyadh Air just released its second livery at the Dubai Airshow while Etihad Airways showcased its new Business Class suite onboard the B787.

In the exhibition hall, I visited Strata which builds components for OEMs such as Airbus, Boeing, and Pilatus. Emirates is showing the employee experience through AI and virtual at their stand. Finally, I met up with the 2 UAE astronauts, Hazza and Sultan at the Mohammad bin Rashid Space Center at the airshow.

Aviation is back in full swing through the orders and numbers of investments demonstrated at this airshow. The one final element is the humanity displayed at the airshow. It has been an incredible 5 days at the Dubai Airshow 2023. See you next time!

  1. At 2:35, the largest and most recent Boeing aircraft, developed from scratch, and yet, is it still unable to provide adequate standing space in the cockpit??

  2. It is nice to see EgyptAir expand its fleet, although your interview with its CEO was brief and did not touch on which destinations it plans to serve shortly, and how it is going to compete in a very tough market. Middle East airlines are struggling to compete with the Gulf carriers with superior human resources and financial resources.

  3. The 777-9 makes it more simple for pilots than ever because of having those ground cameras located behind the wings and landing gear, it will be easy for the crew to notice if the landing gears are retracted or not. And the best thing is flydubai will be having some 787s in their fleet soon.

  4. Hi! Sam. Thank You for sharing this wonderful air show video. Enjoyed watching it. Hope to get an opportunity to patronise future air shows ahead given the opportunity.

  5. Another great video!!! Luv how u start with the 777x u def know what’s up SamπŸ€™πŸ€™πŸ€™πŸ’―

  6. Despite covering an interesting field and topics this video is rather boring and bland. I get the hype of the content and all the staged interviews but it would be more interesting and more entertaining if there was some personal touches and a soul to that video. Looks like that air show is only focusing into one particular region with places that has a similar culture, mentality, mindset and religion. What a shame that it doesn't cover more or doesn't feature different compagnie from different backgrounds. That's what the aviation industry brough to every society. Unfortunatly now it's all about the money and the fame which doesn't contribute anything that could be useful for people.

  7. Sam beautiful editing towards the ending but the video from the start is as good as always an intriguing insights of aviation from construction to engineering to design to flight attendants great atmosphere. Congratulations πŸ₯³

  8. Awesome, sam show to the european ,american and latin american airlines how things are done and the service that this airlines in middle east do for passengers .

  9. Sam you are the best Aviation Vlogger in YouTube!
    I really love watching your videos!
    This is Awesome Sam!!!β™‘β™‘β™‘

  10. Did anyone notice the terminal in front of the Etihad @25:05. My guess is that it's an homage to the TWA International terminal that was at Idlewild (Kennedy) Field. Much larger/newer however, the shape of the glass outside view is about the same.

    Nice job Sam. You just get better and better.

  11. I am disappointed in Sam after the Airshow.. Completely different behavior off camera which was just rude and kind of hurt me as I watched a lot of your videos with passion and love.

    I thought Sam would be an kind youtuber who would treat his fans with somewhat respect but he isn't.

    I saw you Sam while you were crossing between the Emirates and Boeing stall, if you remember I approach you and greeted you with at most respect by saying "Hey there are you Mr. Sam?" but you simply ignored me and you even looked at me and heard me, and I recognized you through your shirt logo when I got close enough to you and asked you the question. Even though you ignored me I also asked you for a picture so I can show my family who I met, but you just said "Ok" and then kept walking without even looking at me and you left without taking a photo. It was as if I did something to you or something and I was extremely confused why. Then shortly after I saw you leave the airport and turn left.

    I was with my father attending the Airshow as a business trip at the time and he saw my interaction with you and had a small talk with me about how these youtubers are on camera and off camera. I even made sure when you were walking that you weren't recording, though I was left heart broken but I managed to learn a valuable lesson that day of how these youtubers act in the real world.. I was truly heart broken after that
