Highlighting the Digital Transformation of the Airline Industry
Aircraft Interiors Middle East (AIME) 2020, taking place 25-26 February at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) is all set to feature free-to-attend inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) seminars, led by speakers from the region’s leading airlines.
AIME 2020 is a must-attend event for all companies operating in aircraft interiors, MRO, and related industries. Attendess will be able to meet over 500 airline visitors from the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia. They will also get the opportunity to network with more than 5,000 high level attendees and browse products and solutions from over 330 exhibitors. AIME 2020 also sees the return of two days of seminars focused on Inflight Entertainment and Connectivity. MRO Middle East, one of the Gulf region’s leading exhibitions for commercial aviation maintenance, is also co-located at the show.
Representatives from Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways and Gulf Air will be among those speaking at the IFEC Seminars at AIME 2020, joined by others from South African Airways, Pakistan International Airlines and Oman Air. They will provide insights into topics ranging from communication, satellites and antennas to digitisation; balancing hardware and software on aircraft; and cyber security.
IFEC has an incredible impact on passengers’ onboard experience. It is estimated that 7,500 aircraft are currently Wi-Fi enabled and 70 per cent of those are in the U.S. or Middle East. Airlines are aware of this importance, in fact Emirates Airline announced it has invested US$200 million in aircraft connectivity for passengers and 99 per cent of their flights are Wi-Fi enabled.
The Future Airline Infrastructure panel, led by Borja Dosal Roiz, Avionics Lead Engineer, Engineering Fleet Management of Etihad Airways and Abdul Khalique Samejo, Project Engineer (IFE & Connectivity) at Pakistan International Airlines, will highlight technological and operational topics and benefits for the utilisation of LiFi as a transport mechanism for data in the aircraft cabin.
Discussions will also focus on how airlines can go from investment in new connectivity technology to using connectivity to optimise flight operations and how technical and engineering departments can collaborate for connectivity to make a difference.

Zak Liyaqat-Ali, Senior Manager, Components at South African Airways will present a case study to share lessons along with discussing the current state of IFE and top five future recommended improvements. These topics are timely for airlines looking to remain competitive in today’s markets as the total number of connected planes could potentially increase to 21,000 by 2026.
The seminars will take a closer look at the latest innovations in IFEC technology, which have become increasingly critical as passengers demand a more immersive experience. In addition to featuring the IFEC Seminars, the two-day exhibition will feature companies representing all sectors of the airline interiors industry.
