The event, which concludes on Thursday, has attracted major industry players in the aviation, defence and aerospace industries.
Taking to Twitter, Sheikh Hamdan wrote: "The incredible growth of Dubai Airshow since its inception in 1989 reflects our ambition to transform Dubai into a global aviation hub. The 2021 edition was the largest ever in its history. I commend the efforts of @HHAhmedBinSaeed and his team to ensure the success of the event."
Sheikh Hamdan was accompanied by Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
During his tour, Sheikh Hamdan visited the stand of UAE company Tawazun’s subsidiary International Golden Group, where he was briefed about its security and defence solutions.
