Visitor registration is now open for Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) and World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE). Serving professionals from the aircraft cabin interior and onboard hospitality procurement industries, the co-located events will be held at the Hamburg Messe in Germany on 8-10 April 2025.
Visitors to these events – including professionals from major airlines, catering buyers, lessors and business jet operators – will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of products and services spanning onboard services, passenger seating, travel catering, and inflight connectivity, to facilitate supply chain collaboration and source solutions.
AIX 2025
AIX 2025 is set to enable aircraft interior professionals to network with industry leaders and gain insights into future interiors trends. Attendees to the events can explore solutions ranging from hardware equipment and connectivity systems to onboard restoration and furnishings.
Jimmy James, director of technical ops procurement at American Airlines, said of the 2024 show: “AIX is a great opportunity to meet with suppliers, both new and existing. It’s really efficient to meet with such a large number of suppliers all in one place.”
WTCE 2025
Alongside AIX, WTCE will return for its 13th edition, focusing on inflight catering and onboard comfort across the air, rail and cruise markets. With a strong focus on eco-friendly amenities, onboard wellness, and next-gen catering solutions, WTCE will unite top air service providers, onboard catering companies, and award-winning brands to showcase trends and product developments shaping onboard comfort and services globally.
Simone Walli, catering manager culinary art and F&B onboard concepts at Austrian Airlines, said about the show: “WTCE provides a really easy way to network, and it helps me to find novel ideas and products. The setup is always valuable for me, and for other airlines.”
Archana Dharni, event director for AIX, commented: “The aircraft interiors and passenger experience world is a hive of innovation with passenger traffic soaring to new heights as a result. Against this backdrop, AIX provides the ideal platform for the entire industry and surrounding markets to connect with industry leaders, explore the latest technologies, and shape the future of air travel. Join us in April to drive innovation, enhance the passenger journey, and unlock new opportunities for business growth.”
Shona Thomson, event manager of WTCE, added: “WTCE offers valuable opportunities to network and meet industry contacts – not only existing suppliers but also to see what’s new and find inspiration to elevate the onboard passenger experience. Previous visitors have expressed how instrumental WTCE has been in facilitating meetings, signing new deals and forming new industry contacts. This year we’ll see the event expand on its key pillars – technology, sustainability, nutrition, allergens and special meals and beverages – with even more features on the show floor that shouldn’t be missed.”
