The European general aviation show Aero Friedrichshafen is hosting a special business aviation conference for the first time in collaboration with the German Business Aviation Association. It will be held on April 11, the second day of the airshow, and will highlight the diverse operations involving business aircraft and the segment's overall importance to the aviation industry, according to organizers.

 


“Business aviation is one of the main areas of general aviation, which is why it will also be a key topic at Aero Friedrichshafen,” organizers said, noting the worldwide business aircraft fleet comprises more than 22,000 jets and an additional 15,000 turboprop and piston aircraft. “Over the past 20 years, it has developed into an engine of innovation benefiting other aviation sectors,” they added, saying its important role to the industry and innovation will be reflected during the conference.

 


Scheduled topics include “the time machine business aircraft” (which will also encompass efficiency through digitization), ADS-B Out, fixed-wing air ambulance transport, social and economic benefits of decentralized aviation in Germany, and an open discussion and outlook.

 


Held annually in Friedrichshafen, Germany, Aero Friedrichshafen attracts 35,000 visitors from 60 countries and more than 700 exhibitors. The show, now in its 27th year, will be held April 10 to 13 this year.
