AERO 2025

AERO 2025 will take place from April 9 – 12, 2025 at the Messe Friedrichshafen exhibition center.

AERO is the leading international trade fair for general aviation, business aviation and air sports. Aircraft ranging from civilian drones to gliders, microlights and gyrocopters, helicopters, touring and training aircraft with piston engines or propeller turbines and business jets will be on display.

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 further training.

Arrivals and departures with your own aircraft to AERO Friedrichshafen during the trade fair days from April 9 – 12, 2025 at Lake Constance Airport require a slot. Helicopters also require a slot.

Entry/exit from/to non-Schengen countries can only take place via the checkpoint in the airport terminal building. Persons arriving from non-Schengen countries must report independently to the shuttle bus driver, who will then take them to the terminal building after landing. A regular shuttle bus runs in front of the terminal building to the exhibition grounds. Passengers departing for non-Schengen destinations go directly to the airport terminal building and report there at the security checkpoint. A transfer between the terminal and the pilot entrance/exit at the exhibition grounds is not possible.
