inter airport Europe 2025 takes off - registration now live, IAE25 champions cutting-edge innovation and industry harmonisation

Wednesday 9th July 2025

inter airport Europe (IAE25), the largest show for airport equipment technology, design and services, returns to Munich Messe during 7-9 October with a special 25^th edition. This year’s show shines a spotlight on innovation and technology and also what is needed to attract and retain talent as workforce issues persist industry-wide. Organisers at RX Global are now shaping a complementary and complimentary line up of seminars which mirror the conference themes, aligning with stellar speakers from all over the world.

“We are thrilled to be running this event once again in collaboration with Munich Airport,” commented Event Director Syreeta Tranfield, who is most enthusiastic to return to RX to lead the show. Syreeta is working alongside Maria Gabriels, Product Marketing Manager, dedicated to IAE25 and Polly Magraw, RX Global’s Portfolio Director – Transport.

Also welcoming the return of the show Jost Lammers, CEO of Munich Airport commented: “We are delighted to be the gateway for the global airport community participating in inter airport Europe 2025. For over two decades, this exhibition has been driving innovations and technologies in the airport industry. As a premium airport that focuses on optimising processes and the passenger experience through innovation and digitalisation, we acknowledge the significance of this leading exhibition.”

Organisers are pledging a lot of value-add content this year, throughout the show floor. Here are this year’s themes:

Sustainability - as airports prioritise operational efficiencies, IAE25 will tackle how regulations differ between the EU / UK / and governments around the world and how the industry needs to collaborate and cooperate to achieve compliance and harmonisation. The exhibition’s sustainability track will also cover successes in scaling the supply of sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen fuelling infrastructure projects and how airports are decarbonising airside operations in line with the industry’s net-zero goal. It will also look at how airports can be designed sustainably.

Technology & Innovation - How are airport operations benefitting from digitalisation? How is generative AI transforming day-to-day airport operations? And from the passengers’ perspective, how are airports deploying technology to create optimal customer experiences? Exhibitors and speakers will address the opportunities, solutions and challenges with AI and machine learning.

Cyber Security – Security remains an ongoing priority at airports with cyber security breaches increasingly prevalent. Rising geopolitical tension and the use of generative AI in cyberattacks adds to the severity and frequency of these threats. How can airports stay vigilant? What crisis communication strategies should they have in place? With a growing range of diverse (non-aviation) stakeholders, find out how all parties can be kept adequately informed.

Safety & security – Passenger and baggage screening is an integral part of airport operations, ensuring the safe and smooth passage of customers. How do advances in smart screening technology developments improve detection and how can airports best embrace biometric developments, addressing passenger privacy concerns? Airside – IAE25 will explore security runways, taxiways, and navigational systems and the threats these areas face.

Big Data - Gen AI is contributing to the data influx. How do we handle such volumes of big data? IAE25 will demonstrate how big data is driving decision making and efficiency at airports with real life case studies.

Workforce of the future - Five years on from the global pandemic, aviation is still workforce deficient. For an airport to thrive and flourish it needs dedicated people. Attracting new talent and retaining existing personnel is a top priority. IAE25 will look at the skill sets future leaders need to help develop their human resource in a constantly evolving industry. It will also explore how the wider rollout of AI and automation is impacting the workforce.

Airport Development and Infrastructure – With passenger traffic set to double over the next 20 years, IAE25 will delve into the factors driving this growth and how airports are responding. The exhibition offers an ideal platform to showcase some of the exciting terminal projects and innovations being developed across the Middle East and Asia. It will also look at new airport projects being implemented across Europe and how they are embracing continuous learning around efficiency.

“With registration now open and excitement building for the 25^th anniversary edition of inter airport Europe, this year’s event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to learn about what’s new in cutting-edge airport technology, connect with global industry leaders and discover the solutions shaping the future of airports and all who travel through them,” concluded Syreeta Tranfield.

inter airport Europe seminars 2023

Editor’s note

inter airport Europe is a must attend event for the global airport industry, an exhibition and seminar event targeting airport operators looking to source airport equipment, technology and services for ground handling, terminal operations, airport IT and airport design.

The show has always attracted an international audience, offering in-depth perspectives on new and emerging technologies that will help airports streamline their infrastructure, systems, and processes whilst meeting rising costs and compliance, in line with the United Nations’ commitment (backed by 145 countries) to meet net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
