Registration opens for EUROPEAN ROTORS 2025 in Cologne, Germany

Following its 2024 success in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, EUROPEAN ROTORS, Europe’s leading rotorcraft and vertical aviation event, will return 17-20 Nov 2025 to Cologne, Germany. 

Owned by the European Helicopter Association (EHA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and produced by European Rotors GmbH with the support of Vertical Aviation International (VAI), EUROPEAN ROTORS brings together operators, manufacturers, regulators, and service providers from across the global vertical flight sector. The event features a major exhibition, high-level conferences, educational programmes, and networking opportunities.

The 2024 event in Amsterdam drew almost 5,000 professionals from more than 80 countries, with more than 200 exhibitors and dozens of aircraft on display. The show once again opened with the EASA Rotorcraft Symposium, underscoring the event’s role as a forum for collaboration, innovation, and safety in the vertical flight sector.

Now in its fifth year, EUROPEAN ROTORS continues to grow and offer participants the opportunity to meet with peers on the exhibition floor and in on-site bilateral meetings, while engaging directly with regulators and discovering new solutions firsthand through its education and conference programmes. 

Highlights of EUROPEAN ROTORS 2025 include:

• Exhibition Floor: Companies will showcase helicopters, unmanned aerial systems, supplies, new technologies, equipment, avionics, and emerging urban air mobility solutions. Attendees will have access to hands-on demonstrations and cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future of flight.
• Conference Programme: A robust schedule of panels and discussions is planned, featuring global experts, policymakers, and industry leaders. Topics will cover technology, safety, regulation, and sustainability.
• Educational Opportunities: Courses and workshops, taught by industry experts and leading flight academies, will offer training on pilot development, maintenance best practices, and future trends.

This year, ticketing has been simplified: the standard ticket is now an all-access pass, including entry to the exhibition floor on all three days it is open (Tuesday through Thursday), all conference and education sessions, and—for the first time—the EASA Rotorcraft Symposium, on Monday. That’s four days of content, insights, and networking with a single pass. Ticket prices are discounted during early registration, which ends 15 September.

‘EUROPEAN ROTORS has become the central meeting place for Europe’s rotorcraft and VTOL community,’ said Fredrik Kämpfe, chairman of the European Helicopter Association. ‘After successful shows in Madrid and Amsterdam, we are excited to welcome the industry back to Cologne in 2025 to continue building momentum for safety, innovation, and growth.’
