Every two years, Airside International hosts the GSE & RAMP-OPS EVENT in Europe, enhancing and improving relationships between buyers, users and suppliers of GSE. Following a successful meeting at our last European show in Dubrovnik 2018, we will bring the industry leaders together again, this time in the beautiful city of Istanbul.

The new Istanbul Airport, which took over air traffic from the former Ataturk Airport in 2018, is projected to serve 200 million passengers annually by 2028. The new airport aims to become a global aviation hub at the intersection of Asia, Europe and the Middle East and is predicted to host more than 100 airlines and flights to over 300 destinations around the world. All in all, this makes Istanbul an easy choice as the next location for our event.

This leading exhibition will bring together GSE suppliers, IT companies and the latest ramp innovators from across the globe to showcase their outstanding products and services – with bespoke capabilities to suit even the toughest ground handling requirements – all within a close intimate environment.

Alongside the opportunity to source new equipment/technologies, there will be an inspiring conference in which delegates will have the opportunity to hear from a carefully selected line-up of speakers from around the world. Topics will include ramp safety, training, new technologies/innovations, current industry issues and industry success stories. Speakers will consist of well-known names with a great deal of experience from industry associations, GSE operators, airline and airport operations and equipment suppliers. Each speaker, a specialist in their area of business, will be keen to share their knowledge and help drive our aviation sector to the next level.

Networking is of paramount importance, with some of the best business relationships having started over dinner instead of a planned meeting. GSE & RAMP-OPS provides many opportunities to meet with other delegates in a relaxed but professional environment, allowing for in-depth conversations and the opportunity to get to know industry peers on a personal level.
