Dubai Airshow says it decided to continue the event after Friday’s fatal jet crash as a mark of respect to Wing Commander Syal, who lost his life during a flying display.

The show's organising team described him as an integral part of this year’s show, admired for his skill and dedication.

The final displays after the incident were performed in his honour, and a formal service was held on Saturday to celebrate his life and contribution.

"Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences remain with his family, colleagues, and all those affected," the Airshow team added in a statement.
