RX has announced that Airport Show 2026, held alongside the Global Airport Leaders’ Forum and Women in Aviation Middle East Conference, has been rescheduled to 12–14 October 2026 instead of 12–14 May. The Dubai World Trade Centre remains the venue.
In a statement on its website, RX said the rescheduling prioritises the safety of customers, partners and colleagues and gives the airport community across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia greater confidence and flexibility to participate.
Now in its 25th edition, Airport Show is preparing to strengthen its role as a business-to-business platform for airport innovation, sustainability and air connectivity in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
The event is held under the patronage of Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, chairman of Dubai Airports, and chairman and chief executive of Emirates Airline and Group. This year’s theme is “The Future of Airport Innovation Starts Here”.
Event director May Ismail said Airport Show has long been an important platform bringing the region’s airport community together in Dubai, allowing suppliers and airport leaders to connect, collaborate and help shape the sector’s future growth.
She added that moving the show to later in the year reflects the organiser’s commitment to ensuring all participants can plan their attendance at this important event with greater confidence and flexibility.
The RX team reaffirmed its commitment to supporting all participants and working closely with exhibitors, partners and stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to the new dates. The organiser also announced that registration for Airport Show 2026 is open.
