21st December 2020 15:23 Europe/London
The organisers of Europe’s top General Aviation show, AERO, held at Friedrichshafen Airport in southern Germany, are confident the 2021 show will go ahead despite the ongoing Covid crisis.
The show is due to take place at the purpose-built exhibition centre adjacent to the airport from 21 to 24 April 2021. That’s a couple of weeks later than usual to avoid conflicting with the US Sun ‘n Fun event.
Among the confirmed exhibitors are Diamond, Tecnam, Piper, Junkers, Textron and Rheinland Air Service, Germany’s agent for Daher (TBM), HondaJet and Bell Helicopters.
AERO 2021 Will Begin On April 21 And Continue Until April 24, 2021
After a one-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, Aero 2021 will take place next year from April 21 to 24, 2021, at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Center. The show team at Lake Constance expects a large number of exhibitors.
Important industry players such as Diamond, Tecnam, Piper, Junkers, Textron, and Rheinland Air Service (DAHER, Hondajet, Bell Partnership) have already confirmed their participation and are happy to be taking advantage of the opportunity presented by AERO Friedrichshafen: We are pleased about the loud and enthusiastic response by the industry. This underlines the relevance of AERO Friedrichshafen and the need for face-to-face interaction,” explains Roland Bosch, Head of AERO and a member of the Executive Board.
