Surfair

Surfair is an international congress focused on surface treatments, coatings, and finishing technologies for the aeronautical and space industries. Organized by Infopro Digital, the biennial event brings together participants from 17 countries, including aircraft manufacturers, airlines, MRO organizations, suppliers, researchers, and surface-treatment specialists. The 2026 program is built around four themes: OEM strategies and industrial perspectives on surface technologies and protective coatings, advanced materials and innovative technologies, MRO and lifecycle surface challenges, and sustainability and circularity in aerospace surface technologies. The congress has served as a technical exchange platform for the aerospace surface-engineering value chain for more than 40 years. The 2026 edition takes place at the Centre de Congrès Bellevue in Biarritz, France.
