The 18th International Exhibition for Airport Equipment, Technology, Design & Services, inter airport Europe 2011, will be held from 11-14 October 2011 at the Munich Trade Fair Centre.

Some 550 exhibitors from 33 countries will present their new products and services at what is a leading trade show for the airport industry. In two exhibition halls and the adjacent outdoor area, airport professionals will find a comprehensive range of airport equipment and services for terminal, terminal-adjoining facilities, runway, apron and hangar.
Inspiring better airports

"With its theme, ‘Inspiring better airports’, this year’s show puts a special focus on the challenges airport operators are currently facing," says Nicola Hamann, exhibition director on behalf of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions. "Customer-friendly services, efficient security screening, energy-saving GSE, as well as intelligent passenger, baggage and cargo handling, are more vital than ever in the highly competitive environment of the airport industry. inter airport Europe 2011 will give its visitors a comprehensive overview of the latest equipment available and of trendsetting developments in airport construction and operating.

"While passenger and cargo traffic continue to recover compared with last year’s figures, the economic situation for the airport industry remains uncertain," she continues. "Incidents such as the earthquake in Japan and the political situations in the Middle East and North Africa had a severe impact on air traffic figures in these regions.

"On the other hand," she stresses, "general growth trends in the economy, with booming markets such as China, have had a positive effect, particularly on business travel and the cargo sector. Despite the volatile markets, the outlook for the second half of this year is optimistic. Therefore, the airport industry must now be able to quickly adapt to changing demand and set the course for the future by sourcing state-of-the-art equipment and intelligent services."

Equipment and services

Renowned as a one-stop shop for the entire airport industry, inter airport Europe brings together international suppliers, buyers, consultants, operators and industry experts from airports, airlines, cargo carriers and aviation support operators. More than 12,000 trade visitors from 120 countries attended the previous show in 2009.
