About 30 companies are exhibiting at the French pavilion (run by France’s aerospace industry association, Gifas) here at the Dubai Airshow. They range from large integrators (including airframer and aerostructure supplier Daher) to equipment manufacturers (such as ground support specialist Dedienne Aerospace) and SMEs (for example, additive manufacturing expert BeAM). MRO is represented, too, with companies such as Revima. With other French firms having their own stands, Gifas is claiming the first rank in European presence at the show.
  
“French companies are willing to continue to accompany the Emirati authorities in their new economic and scientific endeavors and also to keep on contributing efficiently to the protection of the country,” a spokesperson said.
