Friedrichshafen – At AERO 2026 (April 22–25, 2026), the leading international trade show for general aviation, business aviation, and air sports, business aviation will be represented on a larger and more international scale than ever before. The industry is currently experiencing an upswing and expects that in 2025, as many business jets will be delivered as last seen around 20 years ago.
Tobias Bretzel, Show Director AERO at fairnamic GmbH, says: “AERO Friedrichshafen offers business aviation in Europe a new, fresh concept with the AERO Business Aviation Show Hub. It is aimed at owners, operators, and users of business aircraft, as well as the many service providers in the industry. Leading manufacturers and players such as Bombardier, Textron Aviation, Piper Aircraft, Jet Aviation, Pilatus Aircraft, Daher Aircraft, Platoon Aviation, Jetex, FAI, DC Aviation, Flight Safety International, Sky Valet, Rheinland Air Service, and many others have already registered as exhibitors."
The AERO Business Aviation Show Hub, with the modern Business Aviation Dome at its heart, will be expanded in 2026 compared to last year due to strong demand. Business aviation companies will also present their products and services in Hall A1. In addition, there will be pavillons from many national associations such as the German Business Aviation Association (GBAA), the British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA), and many other partners. In addition to new products, networking through first-class evening events will be at the heart of the trade show concept. The focus will also be on the development of the framework conditions for the industry and future challenges facing business aviation. Conferences and presentations by high-ranking industry experts will provide in-depth insights, complement the exhibition, and offer the AERO audience great added value.
For the upcoming edition of the leading trade show, fairnamic GmbH has entered into an agreement with the renowned agency HMI (Hotel Management International) to offer a bundled package of available rooms in Friedrichshafen and the surrounding region for guests. HMI is the official housing partner of AERO and offers interested parties an overview of currently available accommodation options on its website https://aeroexpo.bnetwork.com, which can be booked directly online.
Helicopters are also used for business travel and offer their users maximum flexibility. At AERO 2026, helicopters will once again occupy the entire Hall B5. In addition, rotary-wing aircraft will also be on display in the outdoor area on the enlarged static display.
