Dubai Airports' 2035 Vision: Inclusive Airports for All

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

What does it mean in today’s world to truly be inclusive and accessible for all? It’s a question Dubai Airports aims to answer as it works towards creating a travel experience where everyone feels supported from the moment they arrive. “The guest has always been the priority, and persons with disability are a big part of that guest segmentation,” says Fatma Taher, head of strategic projects and government agenda at Dubai Airports. “So it came naturally to go in depth into the different classifications of disabilities.” Dubai Airports – Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport – began developing these strategies in 2021, in line with the government’s inclusivity drive. Taher explains the process took about a year, as time was needed to engage with the community, develop a framework and strategy, and study best practices. The resulting services were launched on December 3, 2022, to coincide with International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

🌍 Dubai Sets a New Global Standard for Inclusion! 🌿💙 We’re proud to announce that 8 of Dubai’s most iconic public parks and recreational destinations — including Dubai Frame, Quranic Park, Al Mamzar Beach Park, Mushrif National Park, Children’s City, Creek Park, Zabeel Park, and Safa Park — have officially earned the Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation by IBCCES. Dubai Municipality This milestone, announced during AccessAbilities Expo 2025, marks a major leap toward creating public spaces that are welcoming, safe, and accessible for autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals and their families. From trained staff and sensory-friendly spaces to enhanced signage and inclusive facilities, Dubai Municipality is redefining what it means to build cities where everyone belongs. 👏 Together, we’re not just transforming parks — we’re building a future where inclusion is at the heart of every experience. 🔗 Learn more about this global achievement: https://bit.ly/3WyiLgA #IBCCES #CertifiedAutismCenter #Dubai #AccessibilityForAll #InclusionMatters #AutismAwareness #DubaiMunicipality #AccessibleTourism #WhereEveryoneBelongs #AccessibilityLeadership

Accessibility is about empathy, listening, and learning from those with lived experience. That is why I am pleased to welcome Jessica Smith OAM PLY, Fatma Aljassim, and the Watson Family (Nick Watson and Tia Watson) as Dubai Airports’ first Strategic Accessibility Advisors. Each brings a unique perspective – from lived experience with disability, to advocacy, to championing inclusion on global platforms. Their insights will be invaluable as we shape #DXB’s journey to becoming the world’s most #accessible and inclusive airport – advising on guest touchpoints, guiding awareness campaigns, and working with our teams to embed accessibility into everything we do. With more than 1.5 billion people worldwide living with some form of hearing, visual, mobility, or cognitive impairment, the need for meaningful change is clear. This milestone reflects our commitment to ensure every guest at DXB feels confident, supported, and truly welcome.

“…The successful installation of over 520 Hearing Loops across DXB is a testament to the collaborative spirit of our oneDXB airport community, including all our strategic partners and airlines, whose unified effort is making our shared vision of a more seamless and accessible travel experience a reality for all.” Dubai International Airport (DXB) has completed the world’s largest installation of hearing loops, with 520 systems added at key points across all three terminals, including check-in counters, immigration desks, boarding gates, and information areas. The project was designed with Dubai’s Universal Design Code in mind, which mandates accessibility in public spaces and transport. In addition, airport staff have received specialist training, which is nice to see: https://buff.ly/5VL1Yux
