H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of

Dubai Airports, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, and Patron of Airport Show
said, “The business event will provide the industry professionals from Middle East, South Asia, and

mobility.”

He added, “Airport Show will remain the best venue to select and source the cutting-edge technologies

and newest innovative products to better the airport operations.”

May Ismail, Event Manager at RX, stated, “The airport industry will be back to full business when we
meet in 2024. The pace of growth and expansion that was halted is back at a phenomenal rate. The
projects that took off again suggest no end to expansion and growth. What had been put on the back
burner is now in the front.”
