          Passenger Terminal Expo, a show specialised

          terminal areas, includes a wide range of
        
        
          activities and business opportunity and differing
        
        
          scales. This is the only fair of its kind in the world
        
        
          to bring together representatives from air lines
        
        
          and airport operators. A travelling show, the fair
        
        
          had taken place at Fira de Barcelona for the first
        
        
          time in 2007.
        
        
          At this edition, many companies used
        
        
          the show as a platform to launch their latest
        
        
          products, services and technologies related to
        
        
          management, security and complex operations
        
        
          at airports. A major showcase for the latest
        
        
          trends, Passenger Terminal Expo highlighted the
        
        
          industry's efforts to help overcome the crisis, to
        
        
          build customer loyalty and achieve passenger
        
        
          satisfaction, to deal with environmental issues
        
        
          and all questions railed by low-cost airlines.
