Messe Munchen has acquired the renowned Air Cargo Americas & Exhibition from the World Trade Center Miami, making a significant expansion of its logistics portfolio. While Messe Munchen is taking over the trade fair, the World Trade Center Miami will remain on board as a strategic partner for a future three editions and will also support the Munich team in operational matters. This will ensure the best possible synergies for the benefit of customers. The strategic acquisition strengthens the collaboration between two major forces in the trade show industry, paving the way for a comprehensive logistics platform that covers all modes of transport.

As per Messe Munchen CEO's Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer and Stefan Rummel, "We are delighted that Air Cargo Americas is joining our portfolio of trade fairs. For Messe Munchen, this is an important step toward further expanding our activities in North and Latin America and tapping into one of the most attractive markets in the logistics industry."

The first co-located event will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center from November 11-13, 2025. This marks a significant milestone, as the World Trade Center Miami had originally planned to move Air Cargo Americas to this iconic venue, and now, with Messe Munchen on board the enhanced concept will be realized. This combined event promises to deliver unparalled insights and networking opportunities, solidifying its place as the premier logistics event in the Americas.

According to Lorena Sandoval, Director of Cargo, Sales at American Airlines Cargo, "Air Cargo Americas has played an important role in our cargo growth strategies in the Western Hemisphere over the years. American Airlines is a top-tier cargo carrier in Miami and the news of this show's expansion to include logistics and supply chain components will secure Miami's future as a nexus for global trade and logistics."

"The cooperation between the World Trade Center Miami and Messe Munchen marks a milestone for the logistics industry," said Ivan Barrios, President & CEO of the World Trade Center Miami and Dr. Robert Schonberger, Global Industry Lead at Messe Munchen. "We are both excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring for the future."
