Air shows & industry calendar

The Istanbul Airshow (also known as AIREX) is a biennial international trade exhibition dedicated exclusively to civil aviation, held at Istanbul Atatürk Airport in the Yeşilköy district of Istanbul, Turkey. Organised by Expo Mint, the three-day event runs every two years, with the 2026 edition scheduled for 12–14 September. It is the only civil aviation showcase of its kind serving Turkey, the Balkans, the Middle East, and CIS countries. Exhibitors span airframe manufacturers, avionics suppliers, MRO providers, air cargo operators, and airport technology companies. Attendees include airline executives, airport operators, regulatory authorities, and procurement professionals, making the event a significant access point for suppliers targeting Eurasian aviation markets.

AeroTech is an annual conference and exposition hosted by SAE International, held at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. The 2026 edition runs 2–4 June and marks the event's 25th anniversary. It convenes engineers, executives, researchers, regulators, and academics drawn from commercial aviation, military, rotary-wing, and unmanned sectors. The programme combines technical presentations, standards committee meetings, and an exposition where suppliers, manufacturers, and tooling and materials vendors demonstrate technology. AeroTech is notable for its focus on the practical application of engineering developments — spanning advanced air mobility, propulsion, sustainability, and digital manufacturing — making it a consequential touchpoint for aerospace prime contractors and their supply chains.
