"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."
