Pakistani propaganda accounts are circulating posts claiming that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) stall at the ongoing Dubai Airshow recorded over 11,000 visitors in a single day, calling it the “most visited jet display.” They also claim Indian aircraft were receiving “technical attention due to an oil leak.” However, this claim is completely false the Dubai Airshow is a business-only trade show, and the general public is not allowed inside the exhibition halls, making such visitor numbers impossible. The viral image used to support the claim is also not from Dubai, but from the Paris Air Show, 2019.
Propagandists Accounts @NavCom24, @TacticalTribun, and @ZardSi post this claim that:
“Pakistan Air Force steals the show with 11,000+ visitors in a single day.”
Several other accounts including @Markhor3133, @EngrShahid_, @Crucible0001, and @DanielZahoor further amplified the claim across social media platforms. and spread this narrative.
Truth: Dubai Airshow is not open to the public visitor numbers like 11,000 are impossible
As the false claim gained traction on social media, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team conducted detailed verification using official sources and event documentation. Our investigation confirms that the Dubai Airshow is a business-only trade show, open exclusively to industry professionals, with no public admission allowed inside the exhibition halls. Therefore, claims of “11,000 visitors” at any country stall are impossible. The only public-access area, SkyView, is located outside the exhibition zone and does not allow entry into national pavilions or aircraft stalls. Furthermore, the image used in viral posts is old, originating from the Paris Air Show 2019, as reported by Dawn News, where the JF-17 Thunder attracted crowds because that event was open to the general public.
No reputable media outlet or official Dubai Airshow source has reported any visitor figure resembling the claim. This confirms that the narrative about the Pakistan Air Force stall receiving 11,000 visitors in Dubai is entirely fabricated.
