reflecting the regional sector’s development.

As Nadege Noblet-Segers, exhibition manager, ATM, explained, over the past four years, the area has grown almost 32 percent to reach well in excess of 2,000m2.

Noblet-Segers referred to the Gulf heavyweights’ speedy global expansion, noting that low-cost carriers are not being left behind either.

Yet, according to her, more could be done to generate additional air passengers, the open skies issue and GCC-wide visas for example are sure to be hot topics for discussion once again at ATM, which will be held between April 25 – 28, 2016 at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
