The Aero Asia 2025 show, set to be staged in Zhuhai from November 27 to 30, should provide fascinating insights into the state of general aviation in China, but also a glimpse of the country’s fast-emerging low-altitude economy based on expanding applications for drones and eVTOL aircraft. Organizers are expecting that 300 exhibitors from 17 countries will interact with around 60,000 visitors at the Zhuhai International Airshow Center.

As of the start of September, the exhibitor list was dominated by Chinese companies, spanning a wide array of OEMs making light aircraft, drones, engines, and components. There will also be some groups from Cambodia, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, and Singapore.
