Dubai Airports appoints Strategic Accessibility Advisors

Dubai Airports’ 2035 Vision: Airports Designed for Everyone Dubai Airports has unveiled a bold 2035 Vision to transform DXB and DWC into fully accessible, inclusive terminals, not just in infrastructure, but in mindset. From “DXB for All” campaigns (co-created with People of Determination) to 520+ hearing loops, sensory routes, and Sunflower lanyards, the plan is holistic, human-centric, and community-driven. This isn’t just about compliance — it’s about leadership, empathy, and setting new global benchmarks in inclusive travel. #Accessibility #InclusiveTravel #SmartAirports #PeopleOfDetermination #Dubai2035 #InnovationInAviation #Inclusion #SustainableTravel https://lnkd.in/equb2_sV

Dubai continues to set benchmarks that go beyond skyline and scale, this time, with inclusion at the core of progress. By reimagining DXB and DWC as global models of accessibility, Dubai Airports is reinforcing the city’s long-term strategy, one where innovation, empathy, and collaboration define infrastructure excellence. For investors, this signals something deeper: a market grounded in long-term thinking, governance maturity, and people-centered growth, the very qualities that sustain value over decades. #rangeinternational #Dubai #vision2035 #Dubai #DubaiAirports #Inclusion #Accessibility #Innovation #Sustainability #InvestorConfidence #FutureOfInfrastructure #GlobalLeadership #SmartCities #Dubairealestate https://lnkd.in/dSepUfkb

Accessibility is fundamental to creating seamless journeys for everyone. Clear communication is what makes the difference between travelling and truly connecting. That’s why at Dubai Airports we’ve completed the installation of more than 520 Hearing Loops across #DXB, supporting guests with hearing aids and cochlear implants to move through check-in, immigration, boarding gates, and information desks with confidence. With more than 1.5 billion people worldwide living with some degree of hearing impairment, initiatives like this are essential. They reflect our commitment to ensuring DXB becomes the world’s most #accessible and #inclusive airport, where every guest feels welcomed and supported. Every improvement, no matter how technical it may seem, is ultimately about #people, removing barriers, creating confidence, and ensuring every guest feels part of the journey.

Day 2 at the Abu Dhabi Social Care Forum highlighted three transformative themes: 1. Digital innovation with purpose Dr Sarah Carlick’s presentation on digital safeguarding was a wake-up call. With 85% of child protection referrals coming from external agencies rather than children themselves, we are missing critical voices. The vision of secure digital pathways enabling children to self-refer and communicate harm in real-time is not just innovative - it is essential for accessible, child-centred care. 2. AI as enabler, not replacement Abu Dhabi's phased AI implementation in healthcare offers a blueprint for social care. The key insight: integration into existing workflows, not disruption. As one speaker noted, "AI will become a commodity that allows us to focus on more important things" - the human connections at the heart of our work. 3. Local talent, global standards The UAE's strategic response to Arabic-speaking practitioner shortages through the National Academy of Childhood Development demonstrates visionary workforce planning. As Dr Hessa Al Kaabi shared, conflicts in the Arab world are shrinking traditional talent pools - making local capacity building not just smart policy, but essential resilience. Perhaps most importantly, the Arabic-language practitioner panel reminded us that sustainable change happens when those delivering services daily are heard, valued, and empowered to shape solutions. The thread connecting all discussions? Recognition that technology amplifies human capabilities but cannot replace the fundamental relationship-based nature of quality care. Grateful for the insights from colleagues across the UAE, MENA, Singapore, Malta, UK, and beyond. The future of social care is collaborative, innovative, and deeply human.

At Equitech Digital, we often encounter organizations unfamiliar with digital accessibility and its critical impact. Recently, we worked with a customer who had little awareness of accessibility and its implications for users and compliance. We took the time to explain the importance, risks, and long-term benefits of implementing accessibility correctly. Initially, there was hesitation, as they were unsure of the effort and investment required. However, after understanding the potential consequences of overlooking accessibility, the customer expressed their gratitude for our guidance. Helping them take the right steps early not only positioned them for success but also saved significant future cost and effort. We take pride in going beyond expectations to ensure our clients are on the correct path because accessibility is not just compliance; it’s about inclusive experiences for everyone. #Accessibility #DigitalInclusion #InclusiveDesign #EquitechDigital #Ally #A11Y #Equality #EqualAccess #CustomerSatisfaction #AccessibilityAwarness #ADA #SECTION508 #EAA #TITLEII #TITLEIII #Awarness #IAAP
