The cancellation of this year’s EBACE, which usually takes place in May as Europe’s leading show in the sector, gave a last-minute boost to visitor numbers at Aero Friedrichshafen. It had already been gaining momentum, growing from a ‘light GA/sport aviation’ show into something encompassing bizav as well, starting with turboprops and now boasting a large static display of jets. The show, which took place April 22-25, 2026, saw around 37,000 visitors from 88 countries, with 860 exhibitors.
