Airport Show Admission Policy

In these uncertain times, the health and safety of our colleagues, exhibitors, visitors and suppliers is of paramount importance to Reed Exhibitions, organisers of Airport Show.

Our trade exhibitions are well-ordered market places for conducting business and commerce where we are able to affect conditions, settings and situations through a consistent and coherent programme of safeguards and precautionary measures.

We have joined forces with our venue, Dubai World Trade Centre, and the relevant local authorities as part of Airport Show’s collaborative response to the COVID-19 emergency.

1. Collaborating with all relevant parties
2. Dynamic risk management and staying alert to the COVID-19 risks we face
   
3. Planning around roles and responsibilities; safeguards and precautionary measures; and for possible COVID-19 emergencies
   
4. Pre-show and in-show communications using a variety of mediums
   
5. Baseline and incremental show-setting, hygiene and medical safeguards and precautionary
