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.
