The aviation sector is evolving at an extraordinary pace. As passenger expectations evolve, digital capabilities accelerate, and decarbonization targets become increasingly urgent, the sector is being challenged to deliver infrastructure that is not only bigger and faster, but rather smarter, more resilient, and more human-centered.

This March, Dar will join its global collaborative Sidara at PTE World 2026, the world’s leading international airport conference and exhibition, taking place from March 17–19 at ExCel London. Now marking its fourth consecutive year of participation, Dar’s presence reflects its continued leadership in aviation consultancy and design, and its commitment to contributing to the global conversations shaping the next generation of airports.

Held annually, the Passenger Terminal Expo and Conference brings together more than 11,000 industry professionals, 400+ international speakers, and hundreds of exhibitors, convening airport operators, airlines, aviation authorities, and specialist consultants from around the world. Over three days, the event provides a high-impact platform for exchanging insights and exploring the technologies and strategies redefining airport performance and passenger experience, from operational efficiency and capacity to sustainability, resilience, and digital transformation.

Leadership in advancing aviation dialogue

Dar’s Director of Aviation and Architecture, Carole Aramouni, will serve as Conference Chair, opening the conference program on March 18, 2026.

With more than 25 years of experience delivering major aviation and architectural projects across the Middle East and North Africa, Carole has contributed to some of the region’s most complex and ambitious airport developments. Her work reflects a commitment to designing airports that balance operational performance, sustainability, and passenger experience anticipating future needs while delivering lasting value.
