The second edition of the forum will be collocated with the 14th edition of Airport Show at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC) from 12-13 May 2014.
The speaker meeting was attended by Aws Al Khanjari, general manager of Gulf Centre for Aviation Studies (GCAS), Georges Hannouche, CEO, Bayanat Airports Engineering and Supplies, Hamdi Osman, former senior vice president of FedEx Express (Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa) and Michael Herrero, gulf area manager at IATA.
