AERO Friedrichshafen — All Editions

AERO Friedrichshafen is a general aviation exhibition. Its 2026 edition ran from 8 to 11 April 2026 at Messe Friedrichshafen in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

The organiser describes the show as the global platform for all aspects of general aviation. It fills 12 exhibition halls and adds a static display, with aircraft ranging from gliders and ultralights through piston aircraft and helicopters up to business aviation. On its current homepage the organiser cites more than 860 exhibitors from more than 50 countries and calls the show the international community's annual meeting place. Those numbers are the organiser's general description, not a count for the specific edition listed here.

Looking ahead, the organiser announces AERO 2027 for 14 to 17 April 2027 in Friedrichshafen. Its recent news items say helicopters will feature prominently and that the gliding community returns to Lake Constance. The same brand also runs regional events: AERO South Africa on 9 to 11 June 2027 at Lanseria International Airport, AERO ASIA on 11 to 14 November 2027 in Zhuhai, China, and AERO Middle East x Sand & Fun on 7 to 11 December 2027 at Al Thumamah Airport in Saudi Arabia.
