The Air Charter Association (The ACA) is partnering with AERO Friedrichshafen for the 32nd edition of the general aviation trade show taking place in Germany from 22–25 April 2026.

The event attracts more than 32,000 visitors and over 750 exhibitors from more than 38 countries. The ACA will be exhibiting for the first time, and will also host its EU Regional Forum and launch a new training course at the show.

Held on 21 April, the Air Charter Essentials course is open to both members and non-members and provides a comprehensive introduction to the charter industry.

The ACA EU Regional Forum takes place the following day, and will feature a panel of leading voices discussing broker-operator relations, regulation, cyber-security, technology and sustainability.

An evening networking reception will follow the Forum, co-sponsored by The ACA. Members of the association exhibiting at the event for the first time will receive a discounted rate for the 2026 show.

“I am delighted to announce The Air Charter Association is partnering with AERO Friedrichshafen for the 2026 show,” says Glenn Hogben, chief exec of the ACA. “Our membership has become increasingly engaged with this event.”
