A new area dedicated to business jets will be introduced at the 2026 Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg.
The event, which celebrates 25 years in 2026, brings airlines, leasing companies, MRO experts and suppliers to the Hamburg Messe in April, co-located with the World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE).
The new BizJet Interiors Zone will spotlight the technologies, materials and craftsmanship shaping VVIP, business jet and eVTOL cabins.
It will bring together leading business jet innovators and suppliers, including Jet Aviation, Fokker Services B.V., Townsend Leather, High Tech Finishing and more.
Big ambitions
Organised by RX and taking place from 14-16 April, AIX is promising 2026 to be the most ambitious yet, with 90% of exhibitor space already sold.
Collins Aerospace, Safran, Boeing, Recaro and Panasonic Avionics are among those already confirmed for the event, which is expected to attract more than 14,000 visitors from across the globe.
Key areas covered will include innovative cabin design and seating, inflight entertainment, connectivity, accessibility solutions, sustainable materials and premium passenger experiences.
Archana Dharni, Event Director of AIX, said: “AIX has always been more than an exhibition; it’s where the future of the cabin takes shape. Over the past 25 years, it’s grown alongside the industry it serves, reflecting the constant push for better comfort, efficiency and innovation.
“This milestone event will spotlight how far the industry has come, and where it’s headed next, showcasing pioneering solutions that are redefining the passenger experience of the future.”
Cabin innovation
The event kicks off on April 13 with the Passenger Experience Conference (PE), a full day of exclusive insight on digital-first experiences, human-centric design and sustainable travel solutions.
Alongside the show floor, CabinSpace Live will run across all three show days, hosting panels, Q&As and case studies with industry visionaries, offering exclusive insight into the evolving landscape of cabin interiors.
The full 2026 programmes are to be revealed at a later date.
