inter airport Europe, the world’s leading one stop shop exhibition for the airport industry, is renowned for offering stimulating new ideas and first-class expertise for the airport of the future.

With its comprehensive range of equipment, technology and services for ground handling, terminal operations, airport IT and airport design, the exhibition attracts a global audience of industry professionals from airports, airlines, air cargo carriers and aviation-support.

When investing in new equipment and services, their priority is being placed on tailor-made solutions for increased capacity, operating efficiency, environmental sustainability, improved customer service and additional revenue.

For suppliers to the airport sectors – whether terminal, terminal-adjoining facilities, runway, apron or hangar – inter airport Europe is, therefore, the first choice when it comes to marketing their products to key buyers and decision-makers ready to invest.

We look forward to welcoming you to the world’s leading event for the entire airport industry!
