Europe’s top General Aviation show, AERO at Friedrichshafen, Germany has been postponed because of the current Coronavirus epidemic.
It was due to have taken place at the purpose-built exhibition halls (pictured above) alongside Friedrichshafen Airport from 1 to 4 April.
“The Coronavirus ensures that we are currently experiencing a bad domino effect,” says Klaus Wellmann, managing director of Messe Friedrichshafen. “The same decision had to be made for two further events (aqua fish and IBO).
“The members of the General Aviation industry also consider the health and economic risks of an upcoming trade fair to be too high. We share this assessment, so that we now have to take this serious step with a heavy heart.”
Show organiser Roland Bosch said, “As the head of AERO Friedrichshafen, I have never experienced a comparable situation in the past 30 years. We were convinced until the end that we would be able to master the corona challenge.
“For the past few days, however, we have received massive cancellations and clear signals from our exhibitors and potential visitors.
“We will postpone AERO Friedrichshafen 2020 to a date that has not yet been fixed.”
