Robert Schönberger, global industry lead for transport -logistics and air freight exhibitions at Musse Munich, has highlighted the impressive growth of the event over the past 25 years. ‘When we started this part of our transport logistics show in Munich, it was just an additional segment. Now it has become a full part of the exhibition, ‘he shared. Today, Air Cargo Europe is recognized as the largest air freight event in the world, which offers unparalleled opportunities for industry stakeholders.
One of the main reasons for its success, Schönberger explained, is the unique integration of different modes of transport: “Air freight is always atheir own community, and they want to stay together, but they also need the other parts of the logistics industry. They want to meet people from maritime, road, rail transport, and of course cargo exhibitors. In Munich we represented all these industries, ”he said.
Air Cargo Europe 2025 is ready to exceed the extent of its previous issues.
“Compared to the last issue in 2023, which was already large, we will cover 12 exhibition halls this time,” Schönberger announced.
“The show is getting more and more internationally,” he notes. “We see many exhibitors from Western Europe, Turkey and emerging markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America. For example, participants from China, who could not travel in 2023, will return in 2025, making it a true global event. “
The growth of the event underlines the increasing importance of logistics worldwide.
Logistics helps businesses and regions that are usually far away to participate in global supply chains. It drives the need for more logistics services and emphasizes the importance of events such as Air Cargo Europe.
Air Cargo Europe 2025 will have significant improvements, including a new air freight exhibition layout.
“We move the air freight exhibition from Hall B1 to Halls A1 and A2. This will lead to an incredible increase in space, ”Schönberger revealed.
The extensive halls will house large carriers, airports, GSAs and other suppliers, providing a balanced and engaging experience for participants.
The event will also focus much on sustainability and digitization, two important trends that form the industry.
“We will keep forum sessions on topics such as sustainability and digitization, which are still the most important trends in the logistics industry,” Schönberger said. “Exhibitors are eager to showcase their solutions in these areas, and the forums provide a platform to discuss these critical topics.”
The organizers also streamline processes for participants.
“We are working to make the application and registration process smoother and easier for exhibitors and visitors,” Schönberger shared. Improvements in wireless and Wi-Fi services will also improve the overall experience.
“We work with associations, publication houses and research institutions to ensure that the conference topics address the latest trends in the industry.”
The sessions aim to bring together different stakeholders to discuss key issues
“For example, when it comes to infrastructure, you need to discuss the needs. It’s about building up a common vision for the future, with key players, startups and big businesses to invest in new ideas.”
One of the strengths of the event is the ability to attract high -level participants.
“More than 50 percent of our visitors come from outside Germany, with an emphasis on the international nature of the event,” Schönberger said.
“These visitors often have purchasing power and are decision makers who are greatly appreciated by exhibitors.”
Schönberger’s prospects for 2025 are optimistic. ‘The air freight industry is unpredictable, but it is resilient. If one market challenges face, other new opportunities offer, ‘he noted.
“The strong participation we see for Air Cargo Europe reflects the confidence and readiness of the industry to get involved.”
With its extensive reach, innovative focus and commitment to the promotion of collaboration, Air Cargo Europe 2025 intends to strengthen its position as the leading opportunity for the global air freight community.
