Airport show

There are not many shows, globally, dedicated to airports.  Dubai has one, long established, organised by Reed Exhibitions.

With officials becoming focused on sustainability to ensure a better future for the airport industry this will be emphasised at the world’s largest airport industry B2B platform from 17–19 May at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

Amongst many highlights The Airport Show, in partnership with dnata, the State-owned airport and travel services provider, will launch e-Apron zone.

The e-Apron zone will provide exhibitors an opportunity to display electric and hybrid ground handling equipment and GSE.

More than 90 airports are set to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Over 357 airports across the world have been successfully accredited under the Airports Council International (ACI) Airport Carbon Accreditation programme, representing 46.1% of global air traffic. That contributed to a total of more than 322,000 tonnes of CO2 reduced annually. Around 242 airports have individually signed up to achieve that goal.

The commitment to the development of airport infrastructure will need new technologies and innovation for improving operations and reducing their environmental footprints. According to a new study by ACI, airports need to keep modernizing their infrastructure to improve sustainability and resilience if the passenger demand into the future and net-zero carbon emissions are to be met.

Firas Abu Ltaif, Exhibition Manager at Reed Exhibitions, said: “Airports require to be fully prepared for the boom coming soon. Airports, as part of the ecosystem, are working their ways in the climate change domain. The Airport Show added sustainability to its agenda as the airports on every continent have been focussing on ways to cope with the climate change challenges and the ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation programme moving fast on its missions”.
