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.

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.

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!

Dear Ellie,
Motel One was very appreciated by my colleagues, but it’s really early for us to consider any options for next year.
We will likely start to make the necessary arrangements during Summer.
Kind regards

Hello George,
The rooms are comfortable, quiet and very clean. Excellent breakfast with a wide choiche and alternatives available. Corridors need refurbishing as the carpeting is really worn out, as well as room doors. Hotel restaurant closed on sunday but other restaurants are available at walking distance. Taxis to Prowein quite expensive. If traffic is smooth, it takes approx 20 minutes to get to the Exhibition ground.

Dear Ben,
I want to share my feedback regarding my recent stay at Jugendherberge City-Hostel Koln-Riehl. I had a good experience, but a few points are worth mentioning.
Firstly, I commend the hostel's location, which is conveniently situated near the trade fair. This was one of the hostel's significant strengths.
However, I noticed that the rooms, although clean, had a rather plain and not very cosy ambience.
Thank you again, and I wish you continued success in future development.
