2025 proved to be a landmark year for the Aero Friedrichshafen show (the 31st holding of the event) as more business jets and turboprops than ever were present. In fact, for the first time ever, it had the feel of a show with a proper 'static' aircraft display, and it was no coincidence that the traditional EBACE show in Geneva (set to take place May 20-22) had decided not to have a display at all. This is thanks in part to environmental protesters chaining themselves to aircraft in recent years, one suspects.
