Dear Friends!

On behalf of Rosoboronexport I am pleased to welcome and congratulate you on the opening of Dubai Airshow 2019. The event has a vibrant history. Held since 1986, it still has everything there is to rank among the most prominent international aerospace exhi- bitions. Dubai Airshow maintains firm footing among the first five largest aerospace events in the world, including Russia’s MAKS, Pairs Air Show, Farnborough International and Air Show China. Russia has indeed been a very active participant of the show ever since it came here first in 1993. I am particularly pleased to note the ever-growing scale of the show. Today it hosts 1,000-plus partici- pants from all over the world, attracting just short of 100 thousand visitors.
