AERO 2026

AERO 2026 will take place from April 22 to 25, 2026, at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Center.

AERO is the leading international trade fair for general aviation, business aviation, and air sports, and is being held for the 32nd time this year. Aircraft on display range from civilian drones, ultralight aircraft, gyrocopters, helicopters, and piston-engine or propeller-turbine-powered travel and training aircraft to business jets.

New propulsion systems, electric flight, state-of-the-art avionics, services, and accessories for pilots are further focal points. These topics are also reflected in the AERO Conferences, making Europe’s largest general aviation event an important platform for knowledge exchange and continuing education.

2026 at Lake Constance Airport requires a slot. Helicopters also require a slot.
