Airport Show Dubai

The Airport Show is one of the leading trade fairs for the airport industry and has been held annually at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) since its inception in 2001 – one of the most modern and prestigious exhibition venues in the world. It is organized by RX Middle East Dubai, an experienced trade show organizer specializing in business platforms across high-growth markets.

Each year, the event brings together decision-makers, developers, and technology leaders from around the globe. It focuses on the latest advancements in sustainable airport development, digitalization, urban air mobility, and security and operations solutions. As such, the Airport Show serves as a key platform for forward-looking innovation and operational efficiency, particularly across the fast-growing MENA region and the Indian subcontinent.

The exhibition showcases cutting-edge technologies such as digital control systems, smart terminal solutions, and advanced safety and air traffic management systems. Companies from sectors including airport construction, IT infrastructure, airfield technology, operations, and maintenance present their latest innovations, setting new benchmarks for global aviation.

The event is closely linked to the city of Dubai, which positions itself as a pioneer in technology-driven urban development. At the same time, it highlights Dubai’s role as a global hub for innovation in the aviation sector.

A particular highlight of the show is the Global Airport Leaders’ Forum, where senior industry executives discuss current challenges and future trends. This is complemented by the “Women in Aviation” initiative, which is dedicated to empowering and inspiring women in the aviation industry. Most visitors come from the fields of aviation infrastructure, technology, management, and security, while exhibitors represent the full value chain of the airport industry.

The Airport Show is more than just a trade fair – it is an international meeting point for visionary ideas, economic opportunities, and strategic partnerships. Located in the heart of Dubai, the DWTC is easily accessible via public transport, just minutes from the “World Trade Centre” metro station, and offers an ideal setting for a world-class trade show experience.

The Airport Show takes place annually, and therefore for the twenty-fifth time previsibly in May 2026 in Dubai.
