Details of attendees can be found online at http://www.airlineretail.com/attendees.
Mike Sawicki, who manages the exhibition at ARC, says: "We could have doubled the size of the exhibition this year, but it is important to let the show to grow organically. The exhibition is a very important part of each delegate's overall event experience, so we wanted to get the mix of brands and products right. I'm sure everyone will enjoy it as much as - if not more than - last year's event."
Half price early-booking rates available until 4 April, at http://airlineretail.com/current-event.
