Industry leaders will gather in Berlin to explore the future of airport innovation, sustainability and passenger experience.
The International Airport Summit 2025 opens this Wednesday in Berlin, bringing together senior airport executives, technology innovators and infrastructure specialists from around the world for two days of high-impact panel discussions, roundtables, networking and collaboration.
Hosted in partnership with Berlin Brandenburg Airport, the summit promises a dynamic programme focused on the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the global airport sector.

Aletta von Massenbach, CEO of Berlin Brandenburg Airport, will deliver the opening keynote, offering a candid look at Germany’s aviation recovery and the strategic direction of one of Europe’s most important hubs. Her address will set the tone for a summit that blends operational insight with forward-thinking innovation.
Delegates can expect a mix of panels, fireside chats and roundtable discussions covering topics such as:
- Unlocking airside capacity without new infrastructure
- The future of identity in airport ecosystems
- How tech & innovation are redefining the passenger experience
- Accessibility and inclusive design for passengers with reduced mobility
- Robotics and automation in response to workforce shortages
- Data-driven decision-making and predictive maintenance
The summit also features dedicated networking sessions and the prestigious Airport Honour Awards Dinner on Wednesday evening, celebrating excellence across airport operations, customer experience and sustainability.
