The International Summit for Aviation Training, ISAT 2026, has been rescheduled to 14 and 15 December at Dubai World Trade Centre, where it will occupy the Sheikh Maktoum Hall. The summit had originally been planned for 29 and 30 September. It is organised by Adone Events and is listed on the Dubai World Trade Centre calendar with the new dates.
ISAT gathers airlines, training academies, regulators, simulator and technology manufacturers and airport operators to address pilot, cabin crew, engineering and air traffic control training. The programme covers regulatory requirements, simulator investment, competency based training, the use of virtual and mixed reality, and the pipeline of trainees needed to staff the fleet expansion under way at Gulf carriers.
The summit is relevant to executives in aviation because airlines in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have placed large aircraft orders and are opening academies to train the crews for them, while new carriers in Saudi Arabia are building training capacity from scratch. Heads of training, chief operating officers and academy leaders use the event to compare providers and to meet regulators.
Registration and the programme are published by the organiser. The rescheduling is reflected in the Dubai World Trade Centre listing.
