An Indian Air Force Tejas fighter jet crashed in the United Arab Emirates on Friday while taking part in the Dubai Airshow 2025. The pilot flying the jet has died in the crash, confirms the Indian Air Force in a post on X. The Indian Air Force confirmed that a crash had taken place in Dubai and that further details were awaited.
The Tejas jet went down around 2:10 pm. local time while performing a flying display for spectators at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai World Central. A video of the crash showed the fighter jet plunging towards the ground before exploding into a ball of fire. The video did not show any ejection having taken place.
The crash unfolded in front of a crowd that included families, as dark smoke rose over the airport and emergency responders rushed to the site.
Confirming the incident, an Indian Air Force spokesperson said, “A Tejas of IAF has crashed in Dubai Air Show-25. Further details are being ascertained at the moment. Will give further details in some time.”
The city-state’s second airport was hosting the biennial Dubai Air Show, an event marked this year by major aircraft orders from Emirates and its low-cost sister airline FlyDubai. Further details on the cause of the crash and the condition of those involved were not immediately available.
The Indian Air Force is banking on the Tejas fighter jet to fill its rapidly depleting squadron strength. The Dubai Airshow Tejas crash is the second ever crash of the fighter jet since its induction in the mid-2010s. In March last year, a Tejas fighter crashed near Jaisalmer. The pilot had ejected safely.
In September, India’s Defence Ministry signed a contract with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to procure 97 Tejas jets for the air force. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
The Indian government also signed a deal with HAL in 2021 for 83 Tejas aircraft. Deliveries, expected last year, have been delayed largely because of shortages of engines that must be imported from the United States.
