Florian Guillermet, Executive Director, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA):
"AERO showcases a wide segment of the European Aviation Community, from business aviation to traditional general aviation, and from rotorcraft to drones. The conference facilitated excellent discussions with industry stakeholders. The interactions with exhibitors are important to understand the real-life application of EASA’s work: helping the industry to stay safe, develop new technology and to push forward with sustainability improvements."
Bernhard Fragner, Chief Executive Officer GlobeAir AG:
"AERO 2025 was undoubtedly the most impressive Expo I have had the pleasure of experiencing so far – it clearly stands out from other international aviation trade fairs in many respects. The exceptional friendliness and professionalism of the entire Expo team, as well as the partnership-based support before and during the event, deserve special mention – a level of service that is unique in this form. For us at GlobeAir, the static display in cooperation with Textron Aviation was a key highlight: the official world premiere of our Citation M2 Gen2 as part of our new fractional ownership program marked an important milestone. The Business Aviation Dome also offered the perfect format for exchange and visibility. With my DreamTeam on site, we were also able to hold numerous inspiring discussions at our own GlobeAir stand and present our vision for the future of business aviation. I am particularly pleased that everyone on the team experienced AERO 2025 just as positively as I did - with enthusiasm, pride, and full commitment. We have already made a firm note of AERO 2026 in our calendar and are looking forward to being there again next year as exhibitors - but above all as partners and friends."
Robin Wendling, Managing Director, Europe, Bell Textron Inc:
"Bell is proud to showcase two of our advanced aerial solutions to the European market during AERO Friedrichshafen, one of the largest aviation shows in Europe. We are noting a steady demand for Bell products throughout Europe, and we continue to work closely with our customers in region."
Yufang Guo, CEP Hangar One and Organiser Dutch Electric Pavillon:
"Aero Friedrichshafen 2025 will go into history as a milestone in showcasing and facilitating the development and international collaboration of sustainable aviation. After a few years consolidation, sustainability in aviation has obviously been taken into the centre stage. For the first time a sustainable aviation trail has been marked in this Expo with the participation of more than 160 participants. Twenty participants are nominated for the two categories of Sustainability Prize, with Liaoning Ruixiang General Aviation Company heaving won the Prize of Aircraft and Geiger having won the Prize of Supplier. We have also successfully organised various panels on the subject. The Dutch Pavilion, with a large number of Dutch parties forming the ecosystem of electric aviation, has highlighted the importance of cooperation in this sector. In spite of the rapidly changing geopolitical situation, where sustainability has become under sudden pressure, we are making history in sustainable aviation."
Trevor Pegrum, Aviation Sales & Marketing Manager, Garmin:
"AERO Friedrichshafen is a great opportunity to display Garmin’s latest solutions, interact with customers from all over the world and provide helpful insights to those who use Garmin’s products and services. This year, we were able to showcase our G3000 PRIME integrated flight deck for the first time in Europe, conduct daily seminars on a variety of topics, as well as offer promotions for European databases and select products."
Götz Vogel, Representation Germany TL Ultralight/Wetzel Flugzeuge GmbH:
"We want to sell airplanes, so we wanted to be present at the trade fair. I think everyone got their money's worth with the fantastic weather this year. Especially those who traveled by plane to make their visit to the trade fair a special event. The entire city of Friedrichshafen and the surrounding area must have benefited. We were also pleased with the adjusted opening hours, meaning the days were shorter and seemed more relaxed. The visitors also seemed to have responded positively to this. We were delighted with our stand here at the AERO. We particularly liked the layout of the trade fair this year, as the stands were well distributed and the aisles offered enough space to reach us easily. Although we had a quieter start to the trade fair on Wednesday, the number of visitors was significantly higher on the other days, meaning more people visited our stand."
Dr. Oliver Kosing, Geschäftsführer Aero-Dienst:
"We feel that our decision to have a stand at AERO Friedrichshafen for the first time has been confirmed. Here we have the opportunity to hold extremely flexible discussions with our most important business partners, the aircraft manufacturers and our customers in a relaxed and genuinely informal atmosphere. We can only endorse AERO Friedrichshafen's new strategy of giving business aviation space for exchange and presentation and will continue to support this concept in the future."
Colin Peters, Marketing Manager Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH:
"AERO Friedrichshafen is going from strength-to-strength. The 2025 edition proved an unmatched opportunity to meet existing clients and business partners face-to-face and to meet potential new ones. The addition of the business aviation hub and the fantastic conference program also brought a wider spectrum of visitors. As always, the organizing team provided wonderful support, both in the run-up to and during the event, making it a pleasure to exhibit here. We can’t wait for AERO 2026!"
Bozhena Hryvnak, Head of Growth at Vaeridion:
"It’s inspiring to witness the aviation industry coming together in Friedrichshafen to shape the future of flight. As first-time exhibitors and newcomers developing fully electric aircraft, we are excited to be part of this transformation. The momentum toward sustainable solutions is not just encouraging – it’s essential. At Vaeridion, we believe that true innovation comes from challenging the status quo while respecting the deep-rooted legacy of aviation. It’s clear that the industry is ready for change, and we’re proud to contribute to that shift. The enthusiasm for electrification and greener skies was palpable throughout the event. We’ve had great conversations, made valuable connections, and felt genuine momentum around sustainable aviation. This kind of collaboration and shared vision is exactly what the sector needs to move forward. A huge thank you to the organizers for the flawless execution of the event. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year – charged and ready. "
Klaus Wellmann, CEO Messe Friedrichshafen:
"This was an excellent AERO 2025, and we are delighted that this success is also based on the unique infrastructure, the foundations laid here years ago, and the direct taxi way between the airport and the exhibition grounds are still inspiring today."
Ulrich Kremer, CEO Alexander Schleicher GmbH:
"AERO is the only trade show at which we exhibit. You can't afford not to be there. And we will also be present here in the coming years. In addition to long-standing customers, many interested visitors want to get an overview first; experience has shown that specific inquiries only come in after the trade fair."
Pietro Cartocci, Events Manager, AeroDelft:
"AERO Friedrichshafen has been a powerful reminder of why we do what we do at AeroDelft — to inspire, to innovate, and to shape the future of aviation. Sharing our vision among pioneers and dreamers has been nothing short of uplifting."
