Top 3 Rumored Airbus and Boeing Orders at Dubai Airshow This Year

The year’s most significant aviation event, surpassing even Paris, kicks off today: the Dubai Airshow 2025.

Exhibition displays are ready, aircraft are present, and attendees are dressed for business, eager to connect with peers, watch flight demonstrations, and marvel at the array of aircraft on show.

This five-day event begins on November 17, 2025, at Dubai World Central (DWC), with expectations of tens of thousands of attendees and numerous deals waiting to be finalized.

AeroTime will be on-site as an official media partner of Dubai Airshow 2025, ensuring you receive all the latest and most significant updates.

Commercial aircraft orders remain a highlight of any major airshow, with many airlines reserving their announcements for such a grand occasion.

Airbus and Boeing, the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers, are anticipated to dominate the headlines of this event.

Rumors are already circulating regarding which airlines may place orders this year.

Boeing might find itself at a slight disadvantage to Airbus due to recent efforts by US President Donald Trump, who has focused on securing aircraft orders as part of tariff discussions with several nations.

While nothing is confirmed until official announcements are made, here are three aircraft orders that seem likely for this year’s event:
