Bayanat Airports has worked on major projects for new and expanding airport facilities in the UAE and Qatar, while ADB has worked across the globe for more than 60 years deploying lighting technologies to airfields around the world.  

“The Middle East’s airports are modernizing very, very quickly,” said Georges Hannouche, CEO of BAES. “But there is still a major focus on deploying only the best technologies, and that means Bayanat Airports must be working with the world’s top companies, such as ADB, across our entire portfolio of solutions, from air traffic management systems to airfield lighting and runway and terminal systems.”  

The companies will be at the Airport Show which opens next week.

“We believe that the Middle East is our next frontier in terms of bringing the world’s best airfield technology and lighting to some of the world’s largest and fastest-growing airports, and we are excited about our new partnership with Bayanat Airports, ensuring the distribution of our world-class technology in the burgeoning UAE market,” said Malek Hussami, UAE branch manager of ADB.

Organisers of the Airport Show further support the view that there is, in fact, tremendous regional demand for airfield technologies.  In Saudi Arabia, the $1.1 billion expansion of King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah is in progress. Qatar is investing AED 1.2 billion in the New Doha International Airport, while Bahrain International Airport will double in size when the current $850m expansion is completed.

The Airport Show is set to take place from 31 May to 2 June at Dubai’s Airport Expo centre and is supported by leading international industry associations and local government authorities.
