Dubai Airport Show to open with 150-plus exhibitors

The 25th edition of Airport Show will bring together more than 150 exhibitors from over 30 countries at Dubai World Trade Centre from today, showcasing technologies for airport infrastructure, security and operations.

Running until 14 October, the event is expected to attract more than 7,000 visitors and 120 hosted buyers. The programme includes the Global Airport Leaders’ Forum, Airport Security Middle East and the Air Traffic Control Forum.

H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, said, "As the global centre of connectivity, Dubai remains a place where ideas, expertise, and innovation come together to advance progress. The Airport Show embodies this spirit. Over the years, it has grown into a leading B2B platform that highlights emerging technologies, cultivates strategic partnerships, supports national and regional priorities, and enables meaningful dialogue between regulators, operators, and solution providers.”

The exhibition comes as airports across the Middle East invest in expanding capacity, upgrading facilities and adopting digital technologies. For the air cargo sector, these developments matter as modern infrastructure and more efficient airport operations can improve cargo handling and support supply chain growth.

The event will bring airport operators, technology providers and industry stakeholders together to explore solutions and business opportunities linked to airport development and modernisation.

With major airport expansion projects under way across the region, the exhibition will provide a platform to examine technologies and infrastructure that could shape future airport operations and cargo movement.
