ABOUT THE FAIR
Air Cargo Europe, launched in 2003, is the world’s leading trade fair for air freight and logistics. It takes place every two years as part of “transport logistic” at the Messe München exhibition center. The name “Air Cargo Europe” now stands for much more than just the European market – it has established itself as a global brand and a central platform for innovation, knowledge transfer, and networking within the air freight industry.
The event attracts decision-makers and professionals from around the globe. It is organized by Messe München GmbH, renowned for its outstanding event management and deep expertise in international industry sectors.
At the heart of the event are key topics shaping the global air cargo industry: digitalization, automation, sustainable logistics, alternative propulsion technologies, and efficient solutions for global goods transport. The trade fair addresses pressing challenges such as CO₂ reduction and supply chain resilience, while also showcasing concrete future technologies – including real-time tracking, blockchain applications, AI-powered supply chains, and smart packaging systems.
Companies from across the entire value chain are represented: from freight forwarders, airlines, airports, and express services to cargo handlers, security providers, IT service providers, and manufacturers of logistics equipment. They present innovative products and services – from state-of-the-art transport management systems to automated warehousing solutions.
A major added value of the trade fair lies in its accompanying conference program. This offers in-depth insights into current industry trends and promotes open dialogue – through expert lectures, panel discussions, and interactive formats. It creates a unique knowledge platform that provides fresh impetus for the future of the industry.
At the same time, Air Cargo Europe is a key hub for international networking. Professionals and executives from aviation, logistics, commerce, industry, e-commerce, and technology come together to make connections, build partnerships, and initiate new business models – not only on the exhibition floor, but also at numerous networking events.
The location in Munich further underscores the importance of the fair. As a strong economic center with one of Europe’s largest airports and excellent infrastructure, the city offers ideal conditions. Messe München is one of the most modern exhibition centers in the world and is easily accessible – by car or public transport, including direct connections from the airport via shuttle or suburban train.
Air Cargo Europe is far more than just a trade fair. It is an international hub for innovation, exchange, and shaping the future of air freight – an essential meeting place for everyone looking to actively shape the industry.
The Air Cargo Europe will take place on 4 days from Monday, 26. April to Thursday, 29. April 2027 in Munich.
