BARIG & AOC FRA New Year’s Event 2025 – Meet & Mingle

BARIG & AOC FRA New Year’s Event 2025 – Meet & Mingle

On February 18, 2025, our airline and industry partner community gathered at the Hilton Frankfurt Airport for the first-ever BARIG & AOC FRA New Year’s Event.

We welcomed over 100 participating colleagues from across our community with different roles and responsibilities from the commercial side, operations, passenger services as well as airport infrastructure. This exclusive networking evening provided a great opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen cooperation.

In a short welcome speech, the co-hosts Michael Hoppe (Chairman BARIG) and Klaus Marx (Chairman AOC FRA), emphasized the importance of bringing together all relevant stakeholders from the industry. They are looking forward to fostering partnerships and developing joint approaches.

We thank the Hilton Frankfurt Airport Hotel, our long-term BARIG business partner, for setting up the event at the Executive Lounge. General Manager Mario Rupflin was delighted that so many guests used the opportunity to “meet and mingle.” The location provided a dynamic and inspiring atmosphere for many engaging conversations.

A big thank you to all participants for making this evening a great success! We are looking forward to more networking events to come in the course of the year!
