How you can get involved

We are working with exhibitors, event partners and attendees to make Dubai Airshow a sustainable event. As part of this plan, we have developed suggestions and tips for building a sustainable aerospace event.

★ While you are at the show, be aware of what waste you are generating. Reduce where possible and use the provided recycling bins when appropriate

★ As a visitor, your biggest environmental impact is from travelling to and from the event. When possible, choose public transport and trains over planes and taxis

★ When booking accommodation, consider a hotel with eco-certifications to lower your carbon footprint, and be sure to ask about any specific programs your hotel may have when you check in

★ Reduce your environmental impact by eating one plant-based meal a day

★ Take a break from the show floor and recharge in the Wellness Zone with calming activities designed to refresh your mind and body

★ Inspire the sustainable development of your industry by promoting your company's and your products' sustainability credentials

★ Make sure you and your contractor are compliant with all health, safety and security requirements

★ Be digitally present - Avoid printing and download the event app ahead of the event to plan your time

★ Select energy-efficient lighting and equipment for your stand and be sure to power down your equipment at the end of the day 

★ Support your team's well-being by encouraging visits to the Wellness Zone - helping them stay energised, focused, and ready to engage

Better stands programme

Reduce your waste by ensuring the structure of your stand is not disposed of after the event but used again. Be part of our Better Stands Programme.
