Embraer will showcase its new KC-390 Millennium demonstrator for the first time at the Dubai Airshow 2025, featuring a fresh paint scheme.
The multi-mission medium airlifter will be displayed alongside the E195-E2, described by the manufacturer as “the world’s most efficient small narrowbody jet”, and the E190F, the passenger-to-freight conversion of the E190.
The biannual aerospace exhibition will take place from November 17 to 21, 2025, at Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) in the United Arab Emirates, where Embraer will be located at Chalet A63-64.
“A strategic market with major opportunities”
Embraer’s latest Market Outlook 2025 projects strong long-term growth for the Middle East, with Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPK) expected to increase by 4.4% annually through 2044, outpacing the global average of 3.9%. The company forecasts demand for approximately 350 jets with up to 150 seats, as well as 20 turboprops, over the same period.
“We’re excited to return to the Dubai Airshow and showcase our advanced portfolio in such a strategic market. Embraer is experiencing strong sales momentum across all business segments, and we see significant opportunities in the region,” said Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO at Embraer. “The airshow is a great platform to drive new sales and expand our network of customers, partners, and other industry players.”
Embraer has entered a phase of profitable growth driven by efficiency and innovation, with its E-Jet family expanding into new markets and the KC-390 Millennium gaining traction in India, Europe, and the United States.
Eve Air Mobility, Embraer’s advanced air mobility subsidiary, will also join the company’s chalet at the Dubai Airshow.
Earlier this month, Eve announced a framework agreement with Bahrain’s Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications (MTT) to accelerate regulatory, operational, and infrastructure readiness for eVTOL operations in the region.
