World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo earns a Platinum rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the restaurant industry. One of the top-rated events in this space — highly recommended for companies looking to grow their presence.

World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo brings together airline caterers, onboard retail buyers, and travel hospitality suppliers for three days in Hamburg each April. The 2026 edition runs April 14 through 16 and expects somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 attendees, making it one of the larger focused gatherings in the travel food and beverage space. The show is built around commercial outcomes. Exhibitors come to write business, buyers come to source, and the floor conversations tend to stay close to contracts and margins rather than broad industry themes. For restaurant operators and food service companies looking to break into airline or rail catering channels, or expand existing partnerships, this is a practical venue worth the trip to Germany.
