France Air Expo will return to Lyon-Bron from 4 to 6 June 2026. The 2025 event brought together over 10,000 pilots and aircraft owners, with major exhibitors such as Cirrus, Cessna, Diamond Aircraft, Pilatus, Piper, Tecnam, Daher, JMB Aviation, Garmin and Pratt & Whitney.

Highlights included the launch of the Pilatus PC12-PRO, VoltAero’s unveiling of the HPU 210 hybrid engine and the debut of the SR22 G7 series with Safe Return AutoLand. Aircraft sales recorded on-site reflected the purchasing power of the audience.

Round tables and conferences hosted with GIPAG proved popular, offering insight into sector challenges and development opportunities. France Air Expo says more than 70 per cent of 2025 exhibitors have already confirmed for 2026, which will include an expanded conference programme.

AVLAB 2035 will feature expert talks, discussions with aviation journalists and presentations on innovation and decarbonisation. Over three days, professionals, suppliers, schools and aviation enthusiasts will gather again to explore the light and business aviation landscape.
