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.
