Airport Show set to grow as Dubai date set

In 2013, the event gathered 6,581 aviation professionals who networked, sourced their product requirements and created over US$20 billion worth of regional business possibilities.

The Airport Show 2014 will again feature the Airport Passenger Experience - a dedicated platform for the latest technologies and solutions which enable airports to enhance the airport-passenger interaction and aid increasing non-aeronautical revenue.

The Global Airport Leaders’ Forum, after its success in 2013, will come back for its 2nd edition as a co-located event.

The conference will gather top decision makers from aviation regulators, airports, airlines, manufacturers, academia and other aviation stakeholders from around the world in order to explore best practices, collaborate and establish clear legislative frameworks, policy priorities, transparent governance systems and effective funding strategies to accommodate the region’s aviation growth.

The event will also see the launch edition of the Airline Travel Catering Expo, positioned as the Middle East’s dedicated exhibition for the products, services and technologies required for the airline catering industry.

Daniyal Qureshi, director, Airport Show, said: “The show is growing stronger in all parameters with wider global interest in the region, as it pursues its ambitious airport expansion programmes and positions itself as the new travel hub of this century. When one thinks of global aviation investments, the Arabian Gulf states are amongst the first ones that come to mind.”

“Exhibitors are very enthusiastic and confident about getting more business from the region. There is a strong resurgence in the aviation industry and this is reflected in terms of investments and developments. The show is a vital link connecting suppliers and buyers while showcasing the best of the global industry’s solutions and services,” he added.
