Dubai Airshow

DUBAI’S AIRSHOW got of to a well meaning start yesterday (Sunday 15 November) with the arrival of eight tonnes of humanitarian aid.  The delivery, facilitated by the Airbus Corporate Foundation, a non-commercial arm of the leading aircraft manufacturer, and its partners, will boost crucial stocks at Action Against Hunger’s hub in the emirate – strategically located to serve a global effort.  Founded in France in 1979, Action Against Hunger is recognised as one of the most important humanitarian organisations combating hunger and malnutrition worldwide. It is an issue that affects approximately one billion people across the globe, with most lacking access to clean water leading to disease and malnutrition, and remains the largest single contributor to child mortality.  The show runs until Thursday 19 November.  www.dubaiairshow.aero
