Is Friedrichshafen Stealing EBACE’s Thunder?

The 30th edition of the Aero Friedrichshafen show was held at the Messe Friedrichshafen Conference and Expo Centre at Friedrichshafen Airport in Germany, 17-20 April 2024.

Oxford Airport Raises Bizav ‘Green Hub’ Profile, as it Ponders eVTOL London Links

OK, agreed. But if they did, Oxford would – in effect – move closer to London.

BBGA Conference Looks at 'Cleaner' Aviation with Erik Lindbergh, and Addresses GA's Image Problems in the UK

The British Business & General Aviation Association (BBGA) held its annual conference on Thursday, March 7, 2024 in London.

Single-Engine Turbine Ops Still Proving Difficult in Europe

When the European Union enacted a new regulation in 2017 to allow Commercial Air Transport (CAT) operations using Single Engine Turbine (SET) aircraft, many in the industry thought that at last something that had grown solidly in the United States and some other countries since the 1990s would add a new dimension in Europe, adding considerably to connectivity and boosting the economic contribution of such aircraft – produced by manufacturers such as Pilatus, Piper and Textron.

AERO 2023 Showcases Best of GA Industry’s Drive to Sustainability

AirVenture Oshkosh may be the world’s biggest aviation enthusiast event and fly-in but Germany’s AERO Friedrichshafen, which wrapped up on Saturday, April 22, proved which last week that it is a healthy second and even first in terms of being a pure trade show for GA and the ‘light’ end of business aviation. According to show organizer fairnamic GmbH, AERO “once again lived up to its claim of being the leading international trade show for general aviation … with over 680 exhibitors from 35 nations.”
