The initiative is part of Dubai Airports’ ongoing commitment to cultivating a dynamic workplace that champions diversity, equity, and inclusion, celebrating the achievements of women from all backgrounds and inspiring future leaders in aviation.
Captured by acclaimed Emirati photographer, Hind Al Raeesi, the gallery celebrates 10 inspiring Emirati women from across the oneDXB community, whose achievements and dedication continue to shape the future of aviation. Each image is paired with a personal message, where each woman reflects on her journey, growth, and hopes for the next generation of Emirati women.
Paul Griffiths, CEO, Dubai Airports, “What makes this exhibition so special is its honesty and generosity in sharing their thoughts and wisdom. These women aren’t here to play a role for the camera. They are here because every single day, they make Dubai Airports and DXB better. They are operations leaders, safety experts, guest experience professionals and more, who bring excellence to their work and empathy to their teams. We often celebrate milestones with big announcements, but sometimes, the most powerful impact comes from consistent dedication. These portraits are a chance to pause and truly see the women of the UAE who are behind the progress, and to reflect our wider commitment to building a diverse and inclusive oneDXB community, where talent from every background can thrive and shape the future of aviation.”
The ‘Messages to Tomorrow’ gallery is open to the public at Dubai International (DXB) Terminal 3, Departure Gate 2, from August 28 until September 11.
To mark the occasion, Dubai Airports organised special activities at Terminals 3 and 1 for employees and the oneDXB community. These included a special charm-making station, candle-making with the Dubai Airports Youth Council, and crochet and sourdough starter workshops by Dubai Police. In addition, Emirati women employees at Dubai Airports had their photos taken on arrival for a Polaroid Wall display, creating a living tribute to their contributions.
