This year’s in-flight catering, onboard services and passenger comfort industries event WTCE will be featuring over 50 new exhibitors.
WTCE (World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo) says the newly-attending companies will bring many never-before-seen onboard products, innovations and services to the show floor, aimed at catching the attention of buyers from the world’s leading airlines, rail operators and inflight catering companies.
WTCE will return to Hamburg on 28-30 May 2024 and estimates over 250 exhibitors and more than 2,750 visitors from around the world to attend.
WTCE Event Director, Polly Magraw said: “As the onboard sector evolves in line with emerging trends in the technology and food and drink sector, airlines and rail operators are continually on the lookout for the latest onboard solutions and products.
“That’s why at WTCE, we’re committed to providing the industry with the perfect opportunity for visitors to source products from emerging companies and those who are simply new to the onboard industry, who can provide solutions to ongoing challenges in the industry. This year at WTCE is no different, and we’re thrilled to welcome a selection of new exhibitors, who we’re confident will make some noise in the industry.”
