Business aviation’s profile at the AERO Friedrichshafen show next year will be boosted by a new partnership between the European event’s organizer Fairnamic and AIN Media Group. Through an agreement announced on December 11, AIN will be the official media partner for Aero 2025’s new Business Aviation Show Hub, with a pair of dedicated exhibit halls and a new Dome feature in the aircraft static display area.
AIN’s April monthly edition will be distributed to show exhibitors and visitors at Friedrichshafen Airport in Southern Germany. This issue will include a preview of the April 9-12 event, as well as news about the business aviation sector in Europe.
During the event, AIN reporters will provide updates on news announced by exhibiting companies and highlights from the show. These stories will appear at the group’s AINonline.com platform and in daily editions of the Alerts newsletter.
The Business Aviation Show Hub is the latest feature to be added to the line-up at AERO 2025, which is Europe’s leading general aviation show. Organizers said it will provide an immersive experience for companies providing products and services, as well as their customers.
Exhibitors in halls A2 and A3 and the new Aero Business Aviation Dome will include aircraft manufacturers, operators, suppliers, brokers and many other service providers. The 2025 event will feature an enlarged static display with more business jets and turboprops.
With the static display, the 2,000-square-meter Dome will be the location for presentations and conference discussions, featuring a 40-square-meter LED wall. The program will include important topics for the business aviation sector, and the facility also offers a VIP networking lounge and hospitality area.
Among the companies already booked to exhibit at AERO 2025 are leading aircraft manufacturers Bombardier, Gulfstream, Textron, Boeing, Leonardo, Bell, HondaJet, Pilatus, TBM Daher, Cirrus and Piper. Operators and service providers include DC Aviation, FAI Aviation Group, Globe Air, Pratt & Whitney, Blackhawk, Luxaviation, ProAir Aviation, ACC Columbia, Standard Aero, Titan Aviation Fuels, and Platoon Aviation.
