Meanwhile, advanced delegate bookings for ARC2012 have also been the fastest in the show's six year history. Attendees from over 30 airlines have already registered, including: easyJet, KLM, Emirates, Cyprus Airways, Alitalia, Qatar Airways, Jet2.com, SunExpress, Lufthansa and many more. Details of attendees can be found online at http://www.airlineretail.com/attendees.

Mike Sawicki, who manages the exhibition at ARC, says: "We could have doubled the size of the exhibition this year, but it is important to let the show to grow organically. The exhibition is a very important part of each delegate's overall event experience, so we wanted to get the mix of brands and products right. I'm sure everyone will enjoy it as much as - if not more than - last year's event."

Half price early-booking rates available until 4 April, at http://airlineretail.com/current-event.
