24th Airport Show kicks off with broad global participation

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman, Dubai Airports, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group, opened the 24th edition of Airport Show at the DWTC. This year’s show was opened in the wake of the Middle East and neighbouring regions experiencing a surge in airport expansion projects, driven by a recovery in global aviation. His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum commented, “We remain firmly on our journey of progress, with many more milestones ahead in strengthening Dubai’s global reputation. Since 2001, the show has had a long-standing presence in Dubai, and I am confident the 24th edition will support the growth of the regional aviation industry. We look ahead to a landmark Silver Jubilee edition in 2026.” The event welcomes participation by 140 exhibitors from 22 countries to network and do business with 150 buyers from 70 organisations of 30 countries.
