Air Products arrives in Dallas the week of the ILA conference

Air Products, the Allentown-based industrial gas giant, flew into Dallas Love Field on May 29 aboard its Falcon 2000EX (N79TF), arriving from Columbia, South Carolina, at 5:14 p.m. after a two-hour, six-minute hop. The flight touched down the same week the ILA: GasTech Hydrogen & Industrial Gases Conference convenes at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, a major annual gathering for hydrogen and specialty-gas producers.

According to the event schedule published by the International Liquefied Gas Association, the conference runs May 30 through June 1, featuring exhibits and keynote sessions on hydrogen infrastructure and industrial gas supply chains — core businesses for Air Products. CEO Eduardo Menezes or a senior delegation likely used the trip to meet customers and partners in person, a common pattern for the company during industry trade shows.

The 2,000EX also logged a brief trip to Cape Canaveral on May 26, reinforcing a pattern of support for Air Products’ aerospace and energy clients. But Dallas this week is squarely about the conference — the practical, high-stakes networking that keeps industrial gas pipelines flowing.
