Crystal Cabin Award

The Crystal Cabin Award is the only international award for innovative aircraft cabin products and concepts and was granted for the first time at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg in 2007. An international judging panel made up of more than 20 academics, engineers, representatives of aircraft manufacturers and airlines along with specialist journalists evaluates the individual submissions and nominate three finalists in each category. The finalists are determined four weeks before the Aircraft Interiors Expo opens and the Award is granted.
