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.

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your email. For the Golden Leaf, generally speaking, it is a good experience. There are the tasty apples and free coffee and tea in the lobby. The people in the hotel are very nice. We just complain about the wi-fi in the hotel is not good, I can't use it in my room. I found many guests complaining about it in the reception. But anyway, thanks for your help.
Best regards.

Dear Mark,
Many thanks your email. Nothing to say about your service, perfect ! Appreciate very much your good communication. I was very happy to have for the first time a hotel very close to the ANUGA (which gave me time to do running daily after the exhibitionJ) The hotel was good. It is a pity however that no meal was served (except the breakfast) while the Ibis hotel close to Ibis Budget was serving meals at dinner. I was also disappointed to book for a taxi at the hotel that never came. Fortunately, I went by foot to take a taxi outside in order to avoid missing my train.
All the best to you.

Thanks to Tom who was a great help for us in finding an alternative hotel during the show after we heard at the last minute that our hotel was being used for refugee shelter. Every request for additional rooms was handled accurately and professionally. It is very pleasant to work with Tom.
