The Air Charter Association hosted its annual Air Charter Expo event on Tuesday 09 September 2025 at London Biggin Hill Airport. ACE’25 has seen continued growth, setting consistent record levels for attendees and exhibitors. This year, more than 2,000 delegates registered for the expo, 100+ exhibitors and 20+ aircraft, including a Dassault Falcon 8X (Dassault Aviation), Embraer Praetor 600 (Luxaviation UK), Embraer ERJ-135LR (Air Charters Europe), Bombardier Challenger 604 (Air Independence) and Grand Caravan EX (Textron Aviation) celebrating its 40th anniversary. The event presents outstanding networking opportunities and a unique chance to go on board an impressive range of fixed-wing and rotary aircraft.
Glenn Hogben, chief executive, The Air Charter Association, commented: “Air Charter Expo is a flagship event in the aviation calendar, that consistently delivers in showcasing the best of the air charter industry. The show continues to develop year upon year, and we are delighted to set another record for the number of attendees and exhibitors at ACE’25.”
Robert Walters, commercial director, London Biggin Hill Airport, stated: “ACE’25 has once again exceeded expectations, with record numbers of exhibitors, aircraft and delegates attending from around the world. It’s inspiring to see the industry come together at London Biggin Hill, reinforcing our airport’s role at the heart of the business aviation community. We’re especially grateful to The Air Charter Association for its continued partnership in delivering such an engaging event. The momentum from this year’s show will carry forward as we continue to drive innovation and collaboration across the sector.”
A highlight of the show is the conference sessions, featuring leading professionals from across the air charter industry. The focus of the programme this year was the state of the industry in 2025, challenges posed by regulation and taxation, and dispelling the idea that business aviation is simply about luxury. The sessions were moderated by The ACA’s chairman, Kevin Ducksbury, deputy-chair Julie Black and chief executive, Glenn Hogben.
The ACA is grateful to event sponsors: Dassault Aviation, Private Jet Centre - London City Airport, Air bp, Qatar Executive, Close Brothers, FCG OPS, XLR Executive Jet Centre’s and APOGEE.
