inter airport Europe 2017, the 21st International Exhibition for Airport Equipment, Technology, Design & Services will take place at the Munich Trade Fair Centre in Germany from 10 – 13 October 2017. Currently, a net exhibition space of more than 29,000m2 has been booked indoors and outdoors. The current booking status reflects the positive development in the airport industry; an industry sector which is also influenced by prevailing industry trends like digitalisation and automation.

Airport operators in demand of the latest equipment and tailor-made solutions for ground handling, terminal operations, airport IT and airport design visit inter airport Europe in Munich every two years in order to source the latest technology first hand. Visitors to the show are industry experts from airports, airlines, air cargo carriers and aviation-support. “The economic situation of the airport industry is currently experiencing a rather promising development. Due to increasing passenger traffic at airports there is a rising demand for efficient security and passenger guidance systems and cutting-edge ground support equipment”, says Nicola Hamann, Managing Director of Mack Brooks Exhibitions, the organisers of inter airport Europe. “To date some 420 exhibitors from 36 countries cover 29,100m2 of net exhibition space. As a result, eight months ahead of the show, 80% of stand space has already been booked. The most important exhibitor countries after Germany are the USA, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland and Belgium”, explains Nicola Hamann further.

A large number of airports published record passenger figures at the end of 2016. On the one hand, this huge increase in passenger numbers means that airports need to further increase their capacities. On the other hand, data exchange across the entire airport is gaining significance as well. The requirements for cutting-edge digitalisation and automation systems are greater than ever. inter airport Europe 2017 therefore focusses on this important topic as this trend offers immense business potential for the airport industry and sets new standards which will lead to increased efficiency and improved passenger experience in the future.
