Arabia Jets of Saudi Arabia signed a contract with French aircraft livery designer Happy Design Studio to offer their clients customised liveries and visual identity.
EADS Sogerma of France unveiled its new seat, the Super First Class Ultimate 17.
Alison Weller, Managing Director of F&E Aerospace, commented: "The Aircraft Interiors show is the ideal platform for presenting innovative products such as the new EADS Sogerma seat. We are also delighted that Oman Air, Air Arabia and Arabia Jets chose our show to announce new contracts.
"That airlines are now starting again to invest in their aircraft is a measure of how the aerospace industry is recovering, in anticipation of a full return to business over the coming years."
The show is one of three running all this week as part of ‘Aerospace Week’, which was inaugurated yesterday at Dubai’s Airport Expo by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai’s Department of Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group.
Organised by F&E Aerospace, which produces the Dubai Airshow, the two-day AIME show comprised workshops and an exhibition.
The second part of Aerospace Week features the inaugural Aerospace & Defence Training Show (ADTS), from 3-4 March 2010, in association with Halldale Media, which comprises an exhibition featuring simulation training companies, training providers, colleges and manufacturers, and a conference covering topics such as how to engage youth in aviation and pilot training programmes.
