The AERO Asia 2025 wrapped up Sunday in south China's Guangdong Province with the numbers of exhibits and visitors both reaching new highs, marking a milestone for Asia's premier general aviation expo.

Running under the theme "A New Era: Explore More," the biennial show attracted more than 380 enterprises from 22 countries and regions to the city of Zhuhai, with a focus on autonomy, intelligence, and low-carbon solutions.

The number of visitors to this year's four-day expo reached 75,000, with an exhibition area of 60,000 square meters and 174 aircraft on display, setting a new historical record in scale.

The South African AERO aerobatic team and China's Hongxing (Red Star) aerobatic team staged outstanding performances at the AERO Asia show together. The Hongxing is the first aerobatic team in China composed entirely of retired senior air force flight instructors, with an average age of over 50.

The show was co-organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and Zhuhai Airshow Group Co., Ltd.
The Asia region is a key driver of growth for the global sector, due to favorable demographics, green transformation, and the emergence of the low-altitude economy, with China in particular propelling the industry forward, according to Messe Frankfurt.
