Raihan, just a note of correction. The Airshow is not taking place at Dubai International but instead at the new Al-Makhtoom International at the Dubai world central. It's a fair bit of ride from the city center so if you are not renting a car you will have to use either Metro or a taxi to get there. While the Metro does not go there directly you can get off at the closest station and hop on a cab.
Also as this is the first time the venue is hosting the airshow it will be a learning cure for both the organizers and the visitors.

Fingers crossed.
