Membership
We are GATE member, because...
“The aircraft of the future will be much more closely networked with airport technology - whether for docking passenger bridges or loading and unloading baggage and cargo. At GATE, we learn which technologies are already in use and which are being worked on. As an aircraft manufacturer, we can address our wishes and requirements to the industry.“
Jan Reh, Manager Emerging Technologies & Concepts at Airbus
“We’re a member of GATE because the association gives us easy, uncomplicated
access to thought leaders in the airport industry. The members are willing to share
information on developments in the German industry, and help us get in touch with the right people. GATE represents the German industry at global trade fairs and gives us access to many markets.
As GATE members we’ve learned more through the association than we did in three years on our own.”
Tim-Oliver Ricke, Global Segment Manager Intralogistics at Lenze
“Our shared booth with GATE was a big success. The good organization, the mood at the booth, and the interaction with GATE and all partners more than met our expectations.”
