Over 200 Exhibiting Companies Have Already Registered For
German Show
AERO 2010 Project Manager Thomas
Grunewald returned to Germany from the 2009 AOPA Aviation Summit
declaring "AERO is now an internationally established brand."
Grunewald reported that, during numerous discussions with customers
in Tampa, he encountered a great deal of interest in the medium-
and long-term development of Europe's GA industry. Grunewald says
AERO, which will take place in Friedrichshafen from April 8 to 11
next year, is playing a growing role in the marketing plans of US
general aviation companies.
The news, for example, that the organizers of AERO and Sun 'n
Fun had coordinated their trade show dates was very well received
by the industry. This development will allow far more companies to
participate in both trade show events. Meanwhile, for more and more
European aviation companies, AERO has become their most important
general aviation platform. "We're very gratified by the strong
endorsement many exhibiting companies have given us by returning
this year, but also by the appearance of new exhibitors.
Particularly in light of current economic circumstances, it's now
more important than ever to stay focused," Thomas Grunewald
remarked. More than 200 exhibitors, including industry-leading
companies, have already booked their booths in Friedrichshafen
"This positive intermediate number is a positive indication in
terms of our further preparations in the coming months," notes
Grunewald. After initial skepticism expressed by some companies,
particularly in the microlight field, a more positive mood is now
evident.
AERO will become an annual event beginning in 2010. This
is a strategic decision, which in light of intensive discussions
with domestic and international customers in recent weeks, has
proven to correct and essential. "With the approval of this concept
by about 60 percent of exhibitors in 2007, we already had a sound
basis to make this decision. In the meantime, support has grown
dramatically. Based on current data, we're anticipating between 350
and 400 exhibitors next year, and a greater proportion of
international participants," says the AERO project director. Key
topics such as e-flight, the Helicopter Hangar, business aviation,
microlights and light sport aircraft will be continuously expanded.
Over the long term, many industry representatives are convinced
that holding AERO on an annual basis will contribute to its
constant development.
