UAE Business: Airport Show to showcase latest sustainability technologies – Gulf Digital News

Airport Show, the world’s largest airport industry B2B platform that will be organised in May in Dubai, will focus on sustainability to ensure a better future for the airport industry.

The 21st edition of Airport Show, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, will be held from May 17 to 19 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). 

The event will provide insights about airports facing the sustainability challenge, said Reed Exhibitions Middle East, organiser of the show. 

With the Airports Council International (ACI) predicting global passenger traffic recovering by 2023-end to the 2019 levels, airports, especially in the Middle East region, have started sharply focusing on their sustainability and ‘green’ goals, said a statement. 

More vulnerable to climate changes than most regions due to limited water supplies and harsh summers, the region is seeing airports using environment-friendly reclaimed wood, daylighting systems and water treatment technologies.

The Middle East is expected to see its aviation market reaching the $23.07 billion mark in 2026.
