Hamburg Aviation, formerly the "Luftfahrtcluster Metropolregion Hamburg e.V." (Aviation Cluster Hamburg Metropolitan Region) is an association of aviation organizations in Hamburg, Germany. Its goal is to promote the aviation industry in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.[1]

Hamburg Metropolitan Region

Companies based in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region include the aircraft manufacturer Airbus and Lufthansa Technik.[2][3] Hamburg Airport, which first opened in 1912, is one of the world's oldest operational airports to still be based at its original location.[2][4] There are over 300 specialist suppliers, including branches of Diehl Aerospace.[5] As of 2012, it had over 40,000 employees[6] making it one of the largest sites for civil aviation in the world.[7]

Educational institutions

Also based in Hamburg are the German Aerospace Center’s Institute of Aerospace Medicine and Institute of Air Transportation Systems.[8]

Crystal Cabin Award

Hamburg is the host city of the annual Aircraft Interiors Expo,[9] a trade show for the aircraft cabin industry. The Crystal Cabin Award was launched in 2007 to honour innovation in the field of cabin design.[10][11] The prize is funded by sponsors from the aviation industry.

Hamburg Aerospace Cluster

In 2001, companies, universities and government bodies collaborated forming Hamburg Aviation. This developed into the “Luftfahrtcluster Metropolregion Hamburg E.V.” association, with 15 founding members, officially established in 2011. Its mission statement is to promote the aviation industry in the Hamburg business cluster.[12]
