These highly popular events for the aircraft cabin interiors and the onboard hospitality procurement industries will be co-located at Hamburg Messe, Germany from 8-10 April 2025.
2024 is delivering near-record levels of flight passengers worldwide, and the AIX and WTCE events are designed to facilitate crucial connections between the supply chain and airline professionals, as the aircraft cabin interior market continues to grow in size, from US$23.39 billion in 2023, to $25.71 billion in 2024.
Visitors to these events, including professionals from airlines, catering buyers, lessors and business jet operators, will be able to explore a wide range of products and services spanning onboard services, passenger seating, travel catering, and inflight connectivity to facilitate supply chain collaboration and source new products and services.
As Key Media Partner of Aircraft Interiors Expo, Aircraft Interiors International will be bringing the latest news live from the event.
AIX 2025: The leading showcase of cabin interior solutions
The organisers of AIX 2025 say the event is set to provide an unparalleled opportunity for aircraft interior professionals to network with industry leaders, discover over 1,000 cutting-edge products, and gain insights into future cabin interiors trends.

One attendee of AIX 2024, Jimmy James, director of technical ops procurement at American Airlines, said of the show: “AIX is a great opportunity to meet with suppliers, both new and existing. It’s really efficient to meet with such a large number of suppliers all in one place.”
Archana Dharni, event director for AIX, commented: “The aircraft interiors and passenger experience world is a hive of innovation, with passenger traffic soaring to new heights as a result. Against this backdrop, AIX provides the ideal platform for the entire industry and surrounding markets to connect with industry leaders, explore the latest technologies, and shape the future of air travel.

WTCE 2025: Defining the future of onboard excellence
Alongside AIX, World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE) will return as the leading global event for elevating passenger experience through inflight catering and onboard comfort across the air, rail and cruise markets. With a strong focus on eco-friendly amenities, onboard wellness, and next-gen catering solutions, WTCE will unite top air service providers, brands and onboard catering companies, to showcase the latest trends and product innovations shaping onboard comfort and services globally.
Simone Walli, catering manager for culinary art and F&B onboard concepts at Austrian Airlines said of the show: “WTCE provides a really easy way to network, and it helps me to find novel ideas and products. The setup is always valuable for me, and for other airlines.”
Shona Thomson, event manager of WTCE, added: “WTCE offers valuable opportunities to network and meet industry contacts – not only existing suppliers, but also to see what’s new and find inspiration to elevate the onboard passenger experience. Previous visitors have expressed how instrumental WTCE has been in facilitating meetings, signing new deals and forming new industry contacts. The 2025 event will expand on its key pillars – technology, sustainability, nutrition, allergens and special meals and beverages – with even more features on the show floor that shouldn’t be missed.”
