A new General Aviation exhibition by the name of AERO Asia will be held in Zhuhai, China in October 2015.
The exhibition will be hosted by the organiser of Airshow China, Zhuhai Airshow Co., Ltd., and Messe Friedrichshafen, organiser of the international aviation show AERO.
The airshow will be held for the first time from October 28 to November 1, 2015, on the fairgrounds of Zhuhai Airport. The next AERO Friedrichshafen, number one for general aviation in Europe, is scheduled for April 15 to 18, 2015. It takes place every year in the south of Germany on Lake Constance.
Airshow China is one of the worldwide leading trade shows for aerospace. Since 1996 the show has been successfully held in Zhuhai in every even-number year. The two partners are confident that the Chinese exhibition and the new AERO ASIA, being held in alternate years, would complement each other perfectly. Messe Friedrichshafen CEO Klaus Wellmann explained, “With our commitment we want to contribute to allowing general aviation to develop successfully in China. The platform of AERO ASIA is to influence the Chinese market positively and become a central hotspot.” The market for general aviation, which is currently undergoing successive approval in China, is seen to be very important over the medium term.
Marketing manager Ludwig Meier adds: “The good thing about this joint venture is that it works both ways. We bring exhibitors, visitors, and media to China, and at the same time we provide the perfect platform for Europe to AERO Friedrichshafen Chinese exhibitors and key suppliers.”
As part of this year’s Airshow China (November 11 to 16, 2014), the event organisers will be providing detailed information about the new AERO ASIA. A central forum and media event, as well as a scouting trip for interested exhibitors, will be offered by Zhuhai and Friedrichshafen.
