The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that Emirates will host the 80th IATA Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit in Dubai next year.
The decision to hold the event in Dubai from June 2-4 2024 was made during the 79th AGM in Istanbul.
This will be the first time the UAE will host the global gathering of aviation's top leaders.
“The UAE’s positive approach to aviation has built a strong airline with a strong hub airport. Together, these make an enormously powerful and positive contribution to the society and economy of the UAE. Holding the AGM in Dubai will be a showcase of what can be achieved by aviation with supportive government policies and decisions,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General.
“Emirates is delighted to host the 80th IATA AGM and World Air Transport Summit. We look forward to welcoming all our aviation industry colleagues to Dubai in 2024,” added Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline.
