FREE RTA shuttle buses will run from Ibn Battuta Metro station to the Dubai Airshow site for the duration of the event. The first shuttle bus for Skyview will be leaving Ibn Battuta Metro station at 11am.

The last shuttle bus returning to Ibn Battuta Metro station will be at 7pm.

 

 

BY METRO

To avoid disappointment or being turned away, we encourage you to use the Metro to travel to Ibn Battuta station and then take the FREE shuttle buses directly to the Dubai Airshow site.       

 

 

 

 

BY TAXI AND PRIVATE CAR

We offer a taxi service at the show but demand for taxis can be very high at peak times - the guaranteed taxi supply is unfortunately beyond their control.
There are a limited number of car parking spaces available at Skyview- we strongly recommend using the metro or the shuttle bus instead.
