Abstract
The color glass condensate approach describes successfully heavy ion collisions at RHIC. We investigate iron-air collisions within this approach and compare results to event generators commonly used in air shower simulations. We estimate uncertainties in the extrapolation to GZK energies and discuss implications for air shower simulations.
