The 2026 edition of Airport Show will once again be a live show, which will be held between May 12th and May 14th. It will be held at the Dubai World Trade Center.
A leading business platform for aviation and airport technology, the Airport Show is the meeting hub for leaders and decision makers in the MENASA region. Over the years, the trade show has spread its influence further and become a truly global event. Held in Dubai, UAE, the Airport Show arrives every year in May at the Dubai World Trade Center. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge the aviation sector and demand better, smarter solutions for safer international travel. The Airport Show successfully manages to meet these challenges and keep the conversation going.

The Airport Show always supports innovation and highlights exhibitors doing the most to change and improve airport functions. Innovators include Johnson Controls, Nuctech Company Limited, Ground Handling Logistics, emaratech and AGRiGUiP. The trade show covers all related product groups, which makes it an excellent procurement platform. The exhibition halls display the latest in beacon technology, architecture, airport security, air traffic management, airfield construction and installations, automatic vending machines, flight information systems, duty free, driverless terminal vehicles and ICT technologies. The Airport Show attracts buyers from over 50 countries and is an excellent B2B business platform. You’re only going to win from getting a booth here. Meet contacts in airlines, airports, air navigation service providers, civil aviation authority, border security, cargo and freight companies, civil defence and ground handling just to name a few.

Dear Megan,
I hope everything was going well and the accommodation for CPHI!
I have positive feedback from my colleagues about the hotel! No negative comments, which is very nice for a budget hotel.
Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation during all the time!
Have a nice weekend,
Hrisa
Dear Tom!
After the fair I return to the routine! I would like to thanks you to advise us the Maritim Hotel Koln. During our stay in Koln we enjoy the accomodation in this hotel near to the fair, near to the center, beautiful, good service, nice rooms very spacious and clean, fantastic buffet, restaurant Skyline really charming and with a high-quality food... Everything very well. It's sure for the next 2017 Interzum fair I'll contact you and I don't book now because I don't know for the moment the dates! ha, ha, ha! Thanks a lot for your always support and collaboration and I'll work with you again. Sure!

Hi Christine,
I’ve appreciated your service and in particular your flexibility. We usually don’t know which staff will be attending our exhibitions until very near the time, and your flexibility with this is important to us and much appreciated.
The rate for the hotel was reasonable. It was near the upper end of our budget, but good value I think, considering the following feedback from staff:
“Hotel was fine, rooms were good and had no problems. Only potential issue was the limited parking, but this didn’t affect me last week.”
“Would definitely stay there again. Staff were really pleasant and helpful, food was good and the location was pretty good too.”
“I would stop there again no problem good rooms good food and good location for city centre.”
Many thanks again for your help.
Kind regards,
Rachel

Hi Giancarlo,
sorry if I take advantage of your personal number, but I want to tell you a big thank you in private because in a short time you have organized everything for me. You know I was anxious when they asked me to find the hotel for my colleagues. Then when you wrote me the first time, I started to calm down. Finally I even felt pampered. You are really special in your work.
I will never stop thanking you!
Dear Tom,
Thanks for the follow up, everything went well!
Could you please make us a proposal for the edition of Vitafoods 2025 in Barcelona?
Close to the exhibition center or close to a metro station joining directly the convention center.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Megan,
Everything was going as planned, the service was excellent.

My colleagues were very satisfied with a hotel we booked (the niu Tab) for Interpack 2023.
Morning Tom,
The trip was a success thank you.
The hotel was adequate. Rooms were clean but a little too small. Breakfast was fine. Last time we visited Bauma 3 years ago we stayed at the Cocoon hotel ‘same area’ which was much more spacious.
Regards
