Everyone wants to visit the Dubai Airshow 2025, but we know how challenging it can be to reach the venue.

From free shuttles to parking and more, here’s a clear plan to reach the venue without breaking a sweat.
Dubai Airshow 2025: Your Guide For Shuttles, Metro, Taxis & Parking
According to a report by Gulf News, the 19th edition of the Dubai Airshow returns to its purpose-built home at Dubai World Central (DWC). Nestled right next to Al Maktoum International Airport, it’s under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and plans on shaping up to be the biggest show yet. But before dreaming about the aircraft displays, the demos, you need to figure out how to get there.
Free Shuttles
Trust us when we say shuttles are your best option to reach the venue. The buses are free and run straight from Expo 2020 Metro Station, the Airshow site. They’re frequent, reliable, and honestly, the least stressful way to travel. Shuttles run from 7 am to 7 pm, with extended hours until 9 pm on 18 November. So, take a note!
Parking
All visitors must park at Al Maktoum Airport. From there, you’ll hop onto the Park & Ride shuttle. Through this shuttle, visitors will head to the Airshow or SkyView. These shuttles run all day, so don’t worry about being left at the site at any point of time. Exhibitors get their own parking onsite with loop shuttles connecting them to the halls.
Dubai Metro
If you prefer the Metro, head to Expo Station. Shuttles run continuously from there and will take you to both the Airshow and SkyView entrances. Saves traffic and time! Same timings apply: 7 am to 7 pm, extended to 9 pm on 18 November.
Taxi & E-Hail
If you’re going by taxi or booking through apps, there are dedicated drop-off zones for RTA taxis, limousines, Uber and Careem. Why is this a great option? Visitors get 20% off up to four trips (max AED15 per ride). Just enter these promo codes: Uber – AIRSHOW2025 | Careem – 2025AIRSHOW.
