This issue of Airport Industry-News is published to coincide with Passenger Terminal EXPO 2026, taking place at ExCeL London from 17 to 19 March.
The event brings together over 11,000 attendees and more than 400 exhibitors from across the aviation sector to share developments in airport design, operations, security, innovation and sustainability.
Keeping our focus in London, we look at the UK capital’s plans for capacity expansion and infrastructure modernisation. From Heathrow’s proposed third runway to the second runway project at Gatwick and terminal expansions at Stansted and Luton as well as capacity increases at London City, London’s airport network is undergoing significant change aimed at improving efficiency and connectivity.
Alongside this, airports around the world are investing in next-generation technology. Frequentis shares how its secure, software-based voice communication systems are helping air navigation service providers meet operational demands and future-proof their infrastructure. NMi looks at how airport parking is evolving into a seamless, mobile-first experience that’s better for both travellers and operators. Meanwhile, the feature on biometrics by Tiana May explores how airports such as Dubai and Dublin are streamlining passenger processing while balancing privacy, regulation and operational needs.
Accessibility remains another essential focus. All Wheels Up highlights practical steps airports can take to support inclusive travel – from updated facilities and staff training to participating in campaigns such as Roll Up Your Change.
