What is AIR?
AIR is a new and essential business-to-business platform crafted exclusively for UK airports, investors, central and local government, and top-tier suppliers. It’s more than an event—it’s a dynamic network for sharing best practices in sustainability, resilience, and digitisation. Through insightful content and live experiences, AIR ignites conversations that shape the industry.
WHY NOW
The UK aviation infrastructure sector is on the brink of transformative growth. Passenger numbers are expected to soar from 129 million in 2023 to 435 million by 2050, driven by major infrastructure upgrades including new runways and modernised terminals. With government support fuelling growth, there’s never been a better time to exchange ideas and drive progress. But this must not be growth at any cost. Responsible growth in aviation requires the infrastructure needed to decouple flying and carbon emissions while also ensuring airports are resilient, fit for purpose and offer a great user experience.
LAUNCHING 2025
Digital & Live Experiences
Launching its digital platform in September 2025, AIR delivers weekly news, monthly features, podcasts, and webinars—keeping you connected year-round. Then, in September 2026, join us in London for a two-day event featuring multi-stream conferences, interactive roundtables, and a curated exhibition space. This seamless blend of digital and live experiences ensures you stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry.
CREDENTIALS
