UAE Business: Airport Show to feature new ground handling tech zone – Gulf Digital News

The upcoming Airport Show in Dubai will feature a sustainability zone called e-Apron for airport operators, service providers, manufacturers and other stakeholders to showcase airport ground handling technologies.

The 21st edition of the annual Airport Show runs from May 17 to 19 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

e-Apron is offered in partnership with dnata, a global provider of aircraft ground handling, cargo, travel and flight catering services across five continents and part of the Emirates Group.

We expect exhibitors from across the world to be joining the efforts to make their operations sustainable to ensure a better future,” remarked Raed Younes, Vice President for UAE and Regional Business Development at dnata.
