Preparations for the AERO aviation trade show (April 17 - 20, 2024) in Friedrichshafen are gathering pace. The organizers of the world's leading trade show for General Aviation are already experiencing a high level of interest in the anniversary AERO. The AERO Gliding Expo will bring soaring into the focus of those interested in air sports.
AERO 2024 will be a special AERO. It will be the 30th edition of the leading global trade show for General Aviation with its segments ranging from air sports to ultralight/microlight and piston aircraft to business aviation. With the AERO Gliding Expo in Zeppelin CAT Hall A1 – the largest hall on the fair grounds of Messe Friedrichshafen – trade show organizer fairnamic GmbH is implementing a new, appealing concept for soaring in cooperation with air sports associations and well-known glider manufacturers.
AERO attendees can look forward to glider product innovations. For the first time, Zeppelin CAT Hall A1 will feature a dedicated conference area for gliding, with high-level presentations and panel discussions on future topics in gliding. Information booths from air sports clubs and associations such as the German Aero Club e.V. (DAeC) on soaring will round out the comprehensive offerings in Zeppelin CAT Hall A1 at the anniversary AERO.
Tobias Bretzel, AERO show director, says: „Gliding is an important part of AERO. Air sports clubs were among the first exhibitors at the premiere event 46 years ago. We are therefore delighted with the early commitments from several leading glider manufacturers for the new edition in 2024. The further developed concept of the AERO Gliding Expo as part of the upcoming trade show thus offers the ideal combination of a dedicated platform and international exchange with exhibitors, authorities and visitors from other areas of aviation. Only AERO enables this important embedding of gliding in the General Aviation ecosystem."
All interested companies can register now for the upcoming trade show via AERO’s website: https://www.aero-expo.com/exhibitors/contact-application.
AERO 2024 will cover the entire spectrum of General Aviation. Many exhibitors are planning anniversary activities at the trade show. On the Saturday of the trade show, there will be a one-hour airshow where the entire range of the industry will also be demonstrated in flight.
At the AERO Career Days on April 19 and 20, 2024, numerous companies and organizations from the aviation sector will present their training and career opportunities.
