Delegates at AIX 2024

Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) is set to return from April 8 to 10, 2025 at the Hamburg Messe, in Hamburg, Germany. The event will once again bring together the world’s cabin interior and inflight entertainment industry, showcasing to airlines, leasing companies and BizJet operators the sector’s most innovative products, services, and concepts, the October 23 press release said.

Following a 22 percent increase in attendance this year from 2023, plans for the 2025 show are well underway. AIX 2025 will continue to build on the key themes of this past year, including passenger experience, the cabins of the future and the pivotal roles of accessibility and sustainability.

All aspects of the cabin, from lighting, seating, galley equipment, and LEDs, to cabin management systems, IFEC hardware, communications and more, will be showcased at the exhibition for a 360-degree view of the sector.

Passenger Experience Conference (PEC) will take place in the A-Halls of the Messe on Monday, April, 7, the day before AIX opens its doors. Past speakers from PEC have included representatives from Recaro, Safran, Collins Aerospace, Delta, Air Canada and the full program for PEC 2025 will be published in January.

Attendees of both the conference and AIX can maximize networking opportunities at the Welcome Party after PEC, which will offer a relaxed environment to build new connections after the conference.

CabinSpace Live, the dedicated speaker theatre designed to explore the cabin of tomorrow and beyond, offers a platform for visitors to engage with the industry’s leading experts, innovators and thought leaders. The 2025 seminar program will offer three days of high-level sessions and panel discussions, sharing invaluable insights and case studies on topics such as inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC), commercial airline and business jet interiors, sustainability, accessibility and more.

Return of a dedicated IFEC Zone

Next year’s IFEC Zone, the dedicated area focused on showcasing the sector’s latest innovations, will welcome industry-leading exhibitors including Panasonic, Expliseat, Rosen Aviation and Safran SA – each showcasing the latest innovations in hardware, software, digital tools and connectivity that will improve inflight entertainment, connectivity and overall operational efficiency.

The IFEC Zone will showcase advancements in big data and analytics, cabin management systems, in-seat power and audio products, seat-back screens and wireless IFE platforms, serving as a hub for airline decision-makers to find solutions that enhance inflight services and passenger satisfaction. Key discussions will focus on improving onboard experiences across topics such as digitalized cabins, reducing carbon footprints, and the rising demand for passenger-friendly in-seat systems that support devices and offer personalized content.

Making connections

AIX Connect will once again support the event experience, allowing exhibitors and attendees to proactively schedule meetings with key contacts ahead of time using the show’s planning tool. Its intuitive search function helps both visitors and exhibitors discover new connections based on personalized matchmaking and arrange meetings before even arriving in Hamburg.

During last year’s event AIX Connect facilitated meetings, enabling attendees and exhibitors alike to build valuable business relationships, explore new projects and meet the industry’s growing demand for collaboration.

“It’s exciting to announce that AIX 2025 is back in April. AIX is the essential meeting place for the aircraft interiors world, where the future concepts are first discussed and the challenges facing the industry are debated. AIX and PEC will continue to provide and unparalleled platform for airlines, designers, engineers, specifiers and manufacturers to find new solutions and forge powerful connections,” said Archana Dharni, Event Director for AIX.
