The decision to adjust the dates was made to avoid scheduling conflicts with other significant domestic events – ensuring optimal conditions for flight displays and exhibition quality. Mr Edward Che, Executive Director for Messe Frankfurt (Zhuhai) Airshow Co Ltd, further explained: “Following careful consideration and approval from the Ministry of Commerce, the organisers of AERO Asia decided to change the show dates to the end of November, ensuring better logistics, safety and trip planning for all show attendees.”
With the rapid growth of the low-altitude economy, this year’s exhibition is set to cover 60,000 sqm – double the size of the previous, debut edition – and feature some 300 exhibitors, 110+ aircraft displayed, and an expected 60,000+ visitors. Under the theme “A New Era: Explore More”, the 2025 edition will focus on emerging topics such as autonomy, intelligence, and low-carbon solutions.
“We are excited to bring an even more dynamic and impactful event this year,” Mr Che continued. “With expanded exhibition space, world-class forums, and thrilling aerial demonstrations, AERO Asia 2025 will set new benchmarks for the industry. We appreciate the continued support of our partners and look forward to welcoming attendees to explore a new era in aviation.”
Sustainable Aviation Forum returns with Flying Pages collaboration
A key highlight of AERO Asia 2025 will be the second edition of the Sustainable Aviation Forum, co-organised by Messe Frankfurt (Zhuhai) Airshow Co Ltd and Flying Pages GmbH, a leading annual index for light aircraft.

Dedicated to showcasing the latest advancements in electric-led sustainable aviation technology, the forum will explore market opportunities, facilitate cross-border business connections, and examine viable investment models. It aims to serve as a leading platform to integrate China’s sustainable aviation sector with global markets, driving technological leadership and industry collaboration. Key forum topics include:
- Electric Fixed-Wing Aircraft
- Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft (eVTOL)
- Electric Propulsion Systems, Energy Sources & Supply Chain
- Certification & Policy Making
- Air Traffic Control & Infrastructure
- Commercialisation Prospects & Use Cases
The forum will play a pivotal role in supporting China’s carbon neutrality goals, positioning sustainable aviation as a critical pathway for the industry’s green transition. During the four-day show, AERO Asia will also feature other industry-oriented events highlighting the low-altitude economy, future urban aero transportation, the digitalisation of low-altitude urban development, as well as various fly-ins and demonstration flights showcasing innovative aircraft models.
On the show floor, companies from Europe, Canada and Korea will form respective pavilions to present advanced aviation technologies and services, alongside other exhibitors grouped in five key areas: business jet / UL / VLA / LSA; rotorcraft (helicopter & VCA); drones / intelligent application scenarios; engine / green aviation energy; and infrastructure / service / MRO / supply & components.
AERO Asia 2025 is an international trade fair approved by the Ministry of Commerce, guided by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China Ltd (AVIC), Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd (COMAC), and Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC).
