Emirates has announced that it will host the first Aviation Future Week in partnership with the Museum of the Future in Dubai from 15 to 17 October 2024.

The event sees UAE government officials and leaders in aviation and aerospace industry converge for key discussions and collaborations to help redefine what the future holds for the industry. It presents a platform for unparalleled insights and discussion opportunities around the passenger journey and future traffic demand, airfreight and logistics, as well as the latest developments in AI and XR.

“It is fitting that Dubai is setting the stage for visionary global leaders and decision makers in aviation and aerospace to gather for key discussions and powerful collaborations to help redefine what the future could look like for the industry at Aviation Future Week,” chairman and chief executive of Emirates Airline & Group, his Highness, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said.

“Dubai’s strategic commitment to leveraging technology and innovation and embracing the digital revolution is fertile ground to pioneer new approaches and push the boundaries of what is possible for more efficient and sustainable operations and reshaping the passenger journey and experience as the industry forges ahead.”

Aviation Future Week includes key notes, panels, and workshops over three days. The first day features a packed program led by speakers and industry experts who will address air travel demand and airport infrastructure and how airports, airlines, aerospace manufacturers and other stakeholders can deliver an enhanced passenger experience using technology.

The event’s second day is dedicated to developments within airfreight and logistics, with the second half having a focus on MRO development within the region. The third and final day will navigate the boundary-breaking potential of Web3, AI, and XR infused solutions to drive workflow efficiencies and service delivery.

Sessions also tackle strategies required to rethink existing processes through AI, and the collaboration necessary to upskill the aviation workforce to embrace, adopt, and leverage these technologies.

In addition to the main program track, Aviation Future Week also features a rich exhibition platform showcasing the latest in aviation technologies. Visitors can learn about new products and concepts, and network within industry representatives.

A series of interactive workshops will also be spearheaded by Emirates and the Museum of the Future, supported by Emirates CX teams, dnata, Emirates SkyCargo, Flight Operations, Emirates and dnata environment teams, Boeing, and the Emirates Group Youth Council.
