ATM 2024 to address innovation in aviation sector

DUBAI: Arabian Travel Market (ATM), which takes place from May 6th to 9th at the Dubai World Trade Centre, will host prominent international airlines and aircrat manufacturers to discuss the latest industry innovations and solutions.

Transformative areas that are likely to be high on the agenda are sustainability and the role of startups and innovators in transporting the industry into the next era.

The theme for the 31st edition of ATM is “Empowering Innovation: Transforming Travel Through Entrepreneurship”, championing startups and innovators making a significant contribution to the travel and tourism sector.

Aligning with this innovation focus, ATM has partnered with Aviation X Lab and the Intelak programme, which have a shared mission to revolutionise the travel industry by providing a plaform for startups and innovators.

Founded in 2017, Aviation X Lab is an aviationspecific incubator that unites international aviation leaders Emirates Airline, Thales Group, Collins Aerospace, GE Aerospace, and Airbus. Its mission is to reshape the future of the aviation sector through innovative, sustainable ideas.
