For two days, Pavilion No. 1 of "Crocus Expo" became a platform for demonstrating and discussing the development directions of civil aviation in Russia. The company "DRONTECH", which also took part in the exhibition, joined the organizers of the annual NAIS exposition.
The exposition included 13 thematic zones: airport and ground infrastructure facilities, aircraft industry, communications and software, unmanned aviation, specialized universities, and other industry areas.
In addition to demonstrating goods and services, the event included round tables, conferences, and forums. Representatives of leading industry companies — "Aeroflot", "Gazpromneft Aero", "Rosatom", as well as representatives of Rosaviatsia and the Ministry of Transport — spoke at these events.
For the first time, the E. K. Kisel Award ceremony was held — a national award for young specialists. The results of the "Air Gates of Russia" award and the RUSky Awards aviation award were also summarized.
Traditionally, NAIS brought together more than 200 companies, providing them with the opportunity to present new solutions for the development of Russian aviation.
One of the participants was the company "Oblako" — a full-cycle developer and manufacturer of the PAK "Etbox" media server. At the company's booth, specialists talked about the capabilities of the media system and demonstrated its advantages to representatives of airlines and potential advertisers.
PAK "Etbox" is an autonomous in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. The device creates a Wi-Fi network, providing passengers with access to content (Okko, Wink, etc.) and services — a store, flight map, chat — on their personal devices. The system operates for up to 14 hours, supports up to 200 simultaneous connections, and complies with FAR 25.853 safety requirements. "Etbox" does not require complex installation, which allows for quick implementation of the solution on board the aircraft.
The solution increases passenger loyalty, generates an additional source of income through built-in advertising, and can become a full-fledged replacement for foreign analogues.
The NAIS 2026 exhibition was highly appreciated by participants, media representatives, and more than 1000 visitors.
The next NAIS conference will be held on February 10–11, 2027, at "Crocus Expo".
