AERO Asia 2025
AERO ASIA 2025 represents a fusion of European expertise and Asian market potential. Originating from the partnership between Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and Zhuhai Airshow Group, the event leverages AERO’s 40-year legacy in general aviation and Airshow China’s dominance in aerospace exhibitions167. Unlike traditional trade shows, AERO ASIA emphasizes knowledge transfer through beginner seminars for pilots, workshops for aerodrome operators, and forums on regulatory frameworks. The 2025 edition will spotlight advancements in green aviation, including hydrogen-powered engines and eVTOL prototypes, aligning with China’s push to grow its low-altitude economy into a $280 billion sector by 2030.
Event Dates
AERO ASIA 2025 will take place from November 6 to November 9, 2025, marking its second edition following the successful 2023 debut. The four-day schedule is designed to accommodate international attendees, with exhibition halls open daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and evening networking receptions791012.
