ABOUT THE FAIR
Airexpo Shanghai China is a globally oriented trade fair dedicated to the aerospace industry. Since its launch in 2005, it has established itself as a key fixture in both the Asian and international exhibition calendar. Held annually at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) – one of Asia’s most advanced exhibition venues – the event brings together industry stakeholders for in-depth dialogue on innovation, industrialisation, and market development.
Airexpo Shanghai covers the entire aerospace value chain. The spotlight is on aircraft and aviation systems across the civil, commercial, and general aviation sectors, complemented by UAVs, helicopters, and business jets. The exhibition also features engine development, avionics, onboard and control systems, as well as IT and communication solutions tailored to aviation. Cutting-edge manufacturing and processing technologies – from precision machining and welding to advanced materials and novel production techniques – further enrich the offering. The show also encompasses MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul), aircraft interiors, airworthiness testing, metrology, airport infrastructure, air traffic management, security systems, air freight solutions, and space technologies including satellites and ground systems.
Airexpo is organised by Shanghai Golden Commercial Exhibition Co. Ltd., an experienced event organiser with a robust network across China’s aerospace sector. With strong ties to industry, research institutions and government agencies, the fair underscores China’s strategic position as one of the world’s most dynamic aviation markets and highlights Shanghai’s role as a global hub for high technology, industrial innovation and air transport.
One of Airexpo Shanghai’s defining features is its comprehensive and high-calibre supporting programme. International forums, technical seminars and conferences offer deep insights into key topics such as standardisation, new materials, smart manufacturing, and sustainable airport and flight operations. A particular highlight is the Supply and Demand Docking Meeting, which facilitates targeted matchmaking between aircraft manufacturers and domestic and international suppliers of materials, systems and standard components, fostering concrete procurement and partnership opportunities.
Exhibitors include companies involved in aircraft and engine manufacturing, supply chain and component production, avionics and IT, machinery and plant engineering, materials science, airport and security technology, as well as space and satellite systems. The event is aimed primarily at decision-makers, engineers, procurement specialists, project managers and investors from civil aviation, the MRO sector, airport operations, the space industry, research institutions and public authorities.
The Shanghai New International Expo Centre is conveniently located in the Pudong district, directly connected to the metro network and easily accessible from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. With its strategic location and comprehensive scope, Airexpo Shanghai China offers not only a first-class content platform, but also ideal logistical conditions for international professionals looking to shape the future of aerospace.
The Airexpo Shanghai China takes place annually, and therefore for the eleventh time previsibly in March 2027 in Shanghai.
