Exhibitor comments

Patrick Schutterop, Business Manager,Bose Aviation EMEA & APAC, BOSE Aviation:
"The fact that the industry can meet face to face here again makes us very happy. We meet many contacts here. There are many, many reasons to come to Friedrichshafen. There are many events to attend, but we can't be everywhere. At our annual marketing budget meetings, it takes exactly two seconds to decide whether to attend the next AERO. For BOSE Europe, AERO is the most important show of the year!"

Mathias Betsch, Founder and CEO, Flight Design general aviation GmbH:
"The trade show was great! There's a huge difference between talking to someone directly and at a web conference. We are already looking forward to AERO next year!"

Laurent Gauthier, Owner and CEO, Porta Air Service:
"It is good that there was again a trade fair without a mask. But we would have liked more visitors to have been allowed to come to the show by plane. In times of crisis, this AERO is a great ray of hope that spreads confidence. The demand for avionics retrofits is overwhelming, we need more avionics technicians!"

Walter Da Costa, Chief Sales Officer, Tecnam:
"After all the years of interruption, it was a great feeling to be back at AERO. Also the number of visitors, the number of sales, the very high standard of products and services, confirmed our choice: AERO is the natural meeting point for the general aviation community, where Tecnam presents its history and its latest products, and meets with all Tecnam dealers and customers from all over the world."

Dieter Morszeck, CEO and owner, Junkers Flugzeugwerke AG:
"The 30th AERO 2022 - after two years of abstinence eagerly awaited by all. Our idea of recreating historic aircraft with today's technology has once again been very well received. This year in particular, we were able to present several highlights. From the A50 Junior (an ultralight of the 600kg class), our WACO and Great Lakes to the absolute novelties to the A60 and the JU-52 NG. Our expectations were more than met and the response was very positive throughout."

Johannes Graf von Schaesberg, CEO Rheinland Air Service (RAS):
"Together with Bell, Rheinland Air Service was able to present itself as a Bell 505 dealer in Germany for the first time at this year's AERO. Our brand new helicopter, which was delivered just a few days ago, was the center of interest for all visitors. We were especially pleased with the large number of visitors during the trade show and the many discussions about the Bell 505. The special focus of interest was on the exceptional flight characteristics of the Bell 505, the Garmin G1000TM NXi flight deck and the innovative GFCTM 600H autopilot, which is a well-known 'game changer' in the industry and guarantees an absolutely noticeable reduction in the pilot's workload. In conclusion, it can be said that many valuable new contacts and the signs of strong buying interest on the market made the exhibition days at Lake Constance a complete success for Bell and RAS. We are therefore already looking forward to seeing you again at AERO 2023."

Ivo Simon, CEO Dronivo GmbH:
"We participated at AERO in Friedrichshafen for the first time and we are thrilled! Our expectations were exceeded. We found exactly the right exchange with important customers as well as partners. We are already looking forward to participating in the trade show again next year as an exhibitor."

Arthur Leopold-Leger, Chairman Elixir Aircraft:
"We are very happy to have met many aviation enthusiasts, other manufacturers and suppliers again at AERO. AERO 2020 was supposed to be a great trade show appearance for us, but it was unfortunately cancelled. Two years later, we are not only here with a certified aircraft, but we are even presenting a second aircraft type!"

Francois Stelandre, Design and Quality Manager JMB aircraft:
"We are very pleased. Even though we came through the pandemic well, it feels good to be back at the show. It's just nice to see the smiles on people's faces when they discover the new products live for the first time. We thank the show team for the great organization and will certainly be back on board at AERO next year."

Mirko Hahn, CEO AeroSys:
"The four days at AERO Friedrichshafen were a busy, successful and intensive time for us. A very special highlight was the presentation of the fliegermagazin Award 2022 - here we received the award for 'Newcomer of the Year'. The fair offered us a great platform to make our digital copilot Goose even better known. There was both great interest, constructive feedback and a clear commitment from the aviation industry to our product and we were able to attract new beta pilots. What's more, the next collaborations with additional manufacturers and companies are already on the horizon."
