The early date of AERO 2025 (April 9 – April 12, 2025) of the leading global trade show for air sports, general aviation and business aviation, enables glider manufacturers to once again participate in AERO 2025 with a large range of products. Starting 2025, the AERO Gliding Expo will take place regularly every two years.
The AERO Gliding Expo is set to return at AERO 2025, featuring all the leading glider manufacturers and air sports associations; gliding with the Zeppelin CAT Hall A1 will once again occupy the largest hall on the grounds of Messe Friedrichshafen. The annual AERO is the leading global trade show for general aviation and covers all segments of aviation from air sports, ultralight and motor aircraft to business aviation.
The glider manufacturers have agreed with AERO organizer fairnamic GmbH to return to the traditional two-year attendance cycle starting in 2025. This means that the AERO Gliding Expo will be held again in 2027 after 2025. Information stands of associations such as the Deutsche Aero Club e.V. (DAeC) and air sports associations complete the impressive lineup in the Zeppelin CAT Hall A1.
Tobias Bretzel, AERO Project Manager at trade show organizer fairnamic GmbH, says: “Gliding is and remains an important part of AERO. In close cooperation with our industry partners, we will continue to expand the concept. Visitors interested in gliding can therefore look forward not only to exciting product premieres from gliding and the associated aftermarket, but also to an extensive series of presentations devoted to gliding.”
Sascha Costabel, Managing Director of Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau GmbH from Kirchheim unter Teck, Germany, adds: “One-on-one meetings with existing and prospective customers from all over the world as well as with representatives of authorities and associations are crucial for all manufacturers. The cooperation with fairnamic in the conception of the AERO Gliding Expo is truly groundbreaking. We are also looking forward to regularly returning to Friedrichshafen every other year.”
