ACI Launches Brand New Event: ‘Airports Innovate’

The annual global trade show of Airports Council International (ACI) is returning in a new format after a two-year hiatus.

ACI represents the collective interests of airports around the world to promote excellence in the aviation industry.

Branded as Airports Innovate, the new event will reflect the rapid advancements of the industry in terms of technology, business and strategy. The two-day conference will take place in Muscat, Oman, during December 7-8.

Airports Innovate will provide a platform for the industry to come together and network with other airports and key partners and stakeholders from Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and the rest of the world. The event offers an opportunity for industry associates to showcase their products and services as well as engage with airport members.

According to ACI, the new event will be an opportunity for the global aviation community to meet, learn, inspire and collaborate.

Under the banner of Building Back Bolder, Airports Innovate will have three key pillars:

– World Business Partners (WBP) Arena: Digital Transformation, Passenger Facilitation and Security
– Theme Park: Economics, Security, Workforce and Airports of the Future
– Small & Emerging Airports: Innovation in customer experience, cyber security, finance and case studies.

“This event will not only be the gathering of the smartest technologies and the freshest thinking, it will position us all – globally – for a vibrant and robust future,” ACI EUROPE Director General Olivier Jankovec said.

Packed with business, commercial and strategic leads and intelligence, the reimagined event is expected to emerge as one of the premier global aviation conferences.

Airports Innovate is jointly organised by ACI Asia-Pacific, ACI EUROPE and ACI World.

The event will be hosted by Oman Airports which manages and operates civil airports in the Sultanate of Oman.
