Boeing's market outlook values the Middle East commercial aeroplane and services market at more than $1.5 trillion over the next 20 years. Boeing also anticipates 40% of defence and space opportunities in the next decade will originate outside the U.S., with strong platform and services growth opportunities in the Middle East.

Company leaders will discuss these market opportunities and other topics at a series of media briefings during the show. Media attending the show should check the daily briefing schedule at the Boeing Chalet, located on the flight line directly outside the rear of the exhibition hall (A21-24).
