With more than 300 aviation companies, Hamburg is among the industry’s leading cities, both nationally and globally. Because of this and the proximity to big companies like Airbus and Lufthansa, the Messehallen convention centre has been home to the renowned annual Aircraft Interiors Expo since 2002.
