Calling Card
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. Experience the height of technical innovation and the knowledge shared by top experts and figures in the industry.
Business Potential
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.

The Mercure was a good hotel and we are happy with stay. It was a very big improvement from the terrible Comfort Hotel which I don´t you should recommend to anyone.

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email.
PLMA 2025 has been a very successful fair for us. Also, we loved the hotel and the location. We'd like to book the same hotel for next year, sure!
Please send me the rate for 2026, and we'll let you know if it's acceptable for us.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards

Dear Tom,
The trip went quite well. We only had one issue because our team was late for the check in on Friday and they couldn’t reach the hotel by phone.
There was just an answering machine in German and that was not useful, but they had no problem checking in in the end.
They’ve told me the hotel was nice and everything ran smoothly so thank you for all the support.
Best regards
