Held at the Hamburg Messe, 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.

Following the success of the 2024 edition, which attracted 12,000 professionals from around the world (a 22% increase on 2023), plans for the 2025 show are well underway. AIX 2025 will continue to build on the key themes of 2024, 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.

Where cabin concepts take off

Passenger Experience Conference (PEC) will take place in the A-Halls of the Messe on Monday, 7 April, the day before AIX opens its doors. The full day, expertly curated programme will feature high-profile industry leaders, from sectors across the supply chain, who will explore the most pressing issues and trends shaping the passenger experience. Past speakers from PEC have included representatives from Recaro, Safran, Collins Aerospace, Delta, Air Canada, and the full programme for PEC 2025 will be published in January.

In addition, attendees of both the conference and AIX can maximise networking opportunities at the Welcome Party after PEC, which will offer a relaxed environment to build new connections after the day’s conference.

Stay ahead of the growing market

CabinSpace Live, the dedicated speaker theatre designed to explore the cabin of tomorrow and beyond, offers an exclusive platform for visitors to engage with the industry’s leading experts, innovators, and thought leaders. The 2025 seminar programme 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.

The latest in connectivity

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 digitalised cabins, reducing carbon footprints, and the rising demand for passenger-friendly in-seat systems that support devices and offer personalised content.

The ultimate meeting place

AIX Connect will enhance 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 personalised 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.

Archana Dharni, Event Director for AIX, said: “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.”
