The upcoming second edition of AERO Asia 2025, Asia’s leading general aviation exhibition, is scheduled to take place from 27–30 November 2025 at the Zhuhai International Airshow Center in China’s Greater Bay Area. The event is co-organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and Zhuhai Airshow Group Co Ltd, following a strategic Sino-German partnership designed to drive market growth in general aviation and the burgeoning low-altitude economy.
Originally planned for early November, organisers announced the changed dates on 4 July 2025, saying the adjustment improves logistics, flight operations and overall visitor experience. The 2025 edition is expected to span approximately 60,000 m² of exhibition space – nearly double the debut edition – with around 300 exhibitors, more than 110 aircraft on display and an anticipated 60,000+ visitors.
Under the theme “A New Era: Explore More”, the event will spotlight future-oriented topics including autonomy, intelligence, low-carbon aviation solutions and the low-altitude economy. The exhibition layout is organised around five key zones: business jets/UL/VLA/LSA, rotorcraft, drones and intelligent applications, engines/green aviation energy, and infrastructure/services/MRO/supply chain.
A highlight of the show will be the Sustainable Aviation Forum – co-organised by Messe Frankfurt and Flying Pages GmbH – which will focus on electric propulsion systems, eVTOL, certification and policy frameworks, as well as investment opportunities in sustainable aviation. Demonstration flights, fly-in aircraft, start-up zones and international pavilions from Europe, Canada and Korea will complement the show floor.
Zhuhai, recognised as a major Chinese aviation manufacturing centre, offers strategic advantages for AERO Asia with excellent connectivity across the Greater Bay Area and an established aviation cluster. The partnership between Messe Frankfurt and Zhuhai Airshow Group not only brings enhanced international infrastructure and marketing reach but also deep local expertise and access to China’s aviation ecosystem.
