RX, the organisers of Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX), have announced that a wide range of new exhibitors will join this year’s event in Hamburg on 8-10 April 2025. AIX is the world’s leading marketplace for airlines and the supply chain to meet OEMs, suppliers and designers, enabling cabin projects today and tomorrow.
The new exhibitors, which will include CesiumAstro, FDH Aero, and Yokohama Aerospace America, will join long-standing exhibitors from the cabin industry, such as Collins, Panasonic Aviation, and Airbus.
AIX is a traditional launchpad for new models of aircraft seating, and seating concepts. Joining regular exhibitors in the sector such as Recaro, Geven, Aviointeriors and Thompson Aero Seating, this year will see Changzhou Gas Spring Co (CGS), a provider of pneumatic components and seat-recline control systems, attend AIX for the first time.
AIX is also a great place to see the latest in In-flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC) technologies. Attendees can explore personalised audio experiences, high-definition displays, and innovative connectivity solutions that keep passengers entertained and engaged. CesiumAstro, another new exhibitor, will demonstrate its advanced satellite communication technology, designed to enhance airlines’ in-flight connectivity and entertainment options.
Enhanced passenger wellbeing is another key focus of AIX, with airlines prioritising innovation through updated cabin lighting, air quality systems and design elements that promote relaxation and reduce stress. New exhibitor Yokohama Aerospace America (YAA) will unveil its new PRM (Passengers with Restricted Mobility) lavatory module for the Boeing 737, designed with inclusivity in mind. Featuring touchless technology, a smart mirror, and foot-operated controls, this lavatory will offer a new standard for accessible air travel. YAA will also present its range of retrofit solutions for existing lavatories, including touchless upgrades and customisable design kits.
Beyond innovative products, AIX 2025 will also feature suppliers focused on optimising the industry’s supply chain. FDH Aero, a global supply chain solutions partner for aerospace and defence companies, will be displaying its latest in hardware, electrical and consumable products that can support the entire aircraft lifecycle, from initial build to ongoing maintenance.
Other AIX newcomers will include Better-Mold (DG) Industrial Co. Ltd, a specialist in moulded components; Fraunhofer IPK, a research institution driving innovation in cabin design and manufacturing processes; Amerex Corp, a leader in fire-suppression systems for aircraft safety; Senior Aerospace BWT, a provider of advanced composite solutions for lightweight cabin structures; Robert Hofmann GmbH, an expert in textiles and upholstery for enhanced passenger comfort; Von Roll Schweiz AG, a developer of sustainable materials and solutions for the cabin; Weihai Haima Carpet Group, a producer of aircraft carpeting; and F&S BV, an expert in high-performance sealing solutions for optimal cabin pressure and comfort.
Archana Dharni, event director of AIX, said of the new names joining the event: “AIX has always been a vital platform for the aircraft interiors industry to connect, collaborate and propel itself forward. This year, we’re already thrilled to welcome over a dozen new exhibitors who bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to the table. Their presence underscores the dynamism of our industry, and AIX’s role as a catalyst for progress. From enhancing passenger comfort and wellbeing, to streamlining the supply chain, these newcomers embody the spirit of innovation that defines AIX.”
