International Summit for Aviation Training (ISAT) runs 14-15 December 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre. The two-day summit focuses on pilot training, cabin crew training, simulators, and aviation education, with around 180+ exhibitors and 4,000+ aviation professionals expected.
About ISAT
ISAT is the regional summit and exhibition for aviation training and aviation education. The two-day format combines a conference programme on training standards, regulation, and emerging methods with an exhibition floor of training providers, simulator manufacturers, and aviation education suppliers.
The show matters because the Middle East has one of the fastest-growing aviation training requirements globally. Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Saudia, flydubai, Air Arabia, and Gulf Air are all expanding fleets, and the pilot and cabin crew pipeline behind that expansion creates sustained demand for flight schools, type-rating providers, simulator hours, and crew training services. ISAT is where regional training procurement and partnerships happen.
What’s on the show floor
ISAT covers flight training (initial pilot training, type ratings, recurrent training), full-flight simulators and flight training devices, virtual reality and mixed reality training systems, cabin crew training and safety equipment training, maintenance training (Part 66, type-specific MRO training), ATC and dispatcher training, aviation education (degree and diploma programmes), e-learning and LMS for aviation, regulatory and compliance training, and aviation English and human factors training.
Who attends ISAT
Heads of training from airlines and corporate flight departments, flight school owners and academic directors, simulator and training device buyers, civil aviation authority representatives (GCAA, GACA, CAAB, and equivalents), MRO training managers, military aviation training officers, and aviation HR and recruitment teams. The audience is senior decision-maker heavy given the show’s tight focus on aviation training.
