Over the past year, flight-support companies have faced a range of problems caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, Sudan’s civil war, China’s post-Covid emergence, and changing attitudes to the sector’s provision of services, which have given rise to challenges but also spurred opportunity.
Akram Abbas, head of Hadid International Trip Support’s (Booth A60) Dubai operations control center, told AIN that flight support services—including fueling, ground handling, flight permits, and flight planning—are essential to the aviation industry.

To remain competitive, businesses in the sector need to continue to invest in technology and innovate to improve services, streamline processes, and reduce costs.
