There was also 11% increase in attendance from the core audience of air navigation service providers.
This year’s event also featured the largest number of ATC/ATM suppliers anywhere in the world - over 160 exhibitors from 25 countries - 10% increase on 2004.
More than 90% of the floor space was re-booked on site demonstrating clearly the confidence the exhibitors have in the show. Due to demand the organiser, CMP Information, are increasing the ATC Maastricht 2006 floor space by 10%.
The well-attended seminar programme, a leading conference and industry awards gala effectively complemented the exhibition and underlined the event’s position as the most comprehensive event for the ATC/ATM industry in the world.
