Aircraft Interiors Expo
Oct 1-3
THIS year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo Americas in Seattle welcomed over 2,180 attendees. The exhibition featured
125 exhibitors, representing 13 countries, across 37,000 sq ft of floor space. Following the event’s success, Reed Exhibitions has confirmed that Aircraft Interiors Expo Americas will return to the Washington State Convention Center next year from October 14-16 2014. The event attracted a range of first-time
exhibitors and innovative technologies, whilst the one-day Seating & IFE Integration Symposium attracted over 265 delegates and focused on emerging trends and issues related to seating and IFE/connectivity systems. Gary Weissel, vp co-managing officer
aviation & aerospace practice at ICF SH&E, provided an interesting opening address, which set the tone for an engaging symposium, focused upon ‘Consumer trends: the impact of smart mobile technology'. Another recurring theme was the need for
improved collaboration between respective seat and IFE manufacturers to ensure the completion of certification projects relating to electromagnetic interference, static testing, seat track loading, power harmonics, Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and flammability for seat and IFE integration. Reed Exhibitions’ decision to confirm the American debut of the Passenger Experience
Conference in Seattle next year is designed to provide delegates with a more strategic overview of issues affecting the industry with break out sessions to drill down into more specific issues. In the past two years this event has been held in Hamburg. An eclectic mix of exhibitors on the show floor included a strong presence from established regions (such as Europe and the USA) and emerging markets such as China, Hong Kong and Mexico. The Passenger Comfort Zone on the Airbus stand proved extremely popular with visitors allowing them to test and feel the space of the Airbus economy class. “Passenger comfort has always been an important differentiator for the airline industry – especially on long- range routes – and in future, it will become a fundamental deciding factor driving passenger choice and business success”, said Stefanie Von Linstow, Aircraft Interiors Marketing Manager at Airbus. Meanwhile Diehl Aerosystems, a first-time
exhibitor, showcased an innovative range of lighting, lining, lavatories and galleys, marketed to OEMs, airlines and other aircraft operators. One such advanced retrofit solution centred upon reallocating rear-cabin galley/ lavatory position in single-aisle aircraft to enable airlines to add six more passengers.
