A High-Level Global Summit for Aviation Training
ISAT – The International Summit for Aviation Training – will take place on 29–30 September 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, bringing together leaders from across the aviation training ecosystem.
The event will unite airlines, ATOs, regulators, OEMs, solution providers, and investors from the Middle East, Africa, and India — three regions driving the fastest growth in global aviation.
According to Airbus, Boeing, and CAE, over 1.34 million new aviation professionals will be needed by 2034.
Nearly 30% of that demand (465,000 professionals) will come from the Middle East, Africa, and India — requiring over 400 new or expanded ATOs.
Conference & Exhibition: Connecting Policy, Innovation, and Industry
Over two days, ISAT will deliver:
- Conference Tracks covering Pilot, Cabin Crew, Maintenance, and Air Traffic Control (ATC) training
- Dedicated sessions on Artificial Intelligence, CBTA, eVTOL, and Urban Air Mobility training
- An exclusive investor program highlighting opportunities in training infrastructure development
- A dynamic B2B exhibition showcasing the latest technologies, simulators, and learning systems
- Matchmaking and hosted buyer sessions connecting exhibitors with decision-makers from over 100 international airlines
