AERO 2027 aims to build on the great success of AERO 2026 with an enhanced programme for business aviation, organisers Fairnamic confirmed today. For the second year running, AERO was Europe’s largest trade show for business aviation. Some 50 business jets and turboprops showcased, with 400-plus international exhibitors participating from the sector, versus its 2025 edition. The number of Show visitors swelled to 37,000. In addition to debutantes and numerous new innovations, aircraft orders announced on-site totalled an estimated US$500 million. (The latest, Platoon Aviation’s order for up to 16 Cessna Longitudes, was concluded at AERO, pending legal formalities, which followed just weeks later).
Tobias Bretzel, Show Director of AERO at Fairnamic GmbH, commented: “We’re delighted with the positive response and pro-active feedback from customers, who helped shape the trade show with us. Further developing AERO generally and the AERO Business Aviation Show Hub, in collaboration with our industry partners, is our top priority.“
Two and a half day business aviation show
Reflecting exhibitor and visitor feedback, the Business Aviation Show Hub; dedicated bizav Hall A1 and the Dome will run over two and a half days, during April 14–16, 2027. Both exhibition areas will be expanded. Hall A1, which hosted attractions like the JetEx lounge, national business aviation associations and new Technology Aviation Business (TAB) pavilion, will be enhanced with its own entrance and superior conference stage.
