China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition - Zhuhai Airshow

【Exhibition Overview】

    The China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition, abbreviated as the Zhuhai Airshow (AIR SHOW CHINA), is the only international professional aerospace exhibition in China approved by the Central People's Government. It is jointly hosted by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence, the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China, and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, among others. The exhibition provides an open exchange platform for exhibitors and visitors from around the world, supporting all parties in sharing new product knowledge and industry experience, conducting trade negotiations and technology matchmaking, with business coverage spanning product ordering, customised solutions, and frontier industry discussions.

【Exhibition Scale and Hall Planning】

    This edition of the Airshow utilises 13 exhibition halls, with an indoor exhibition area of 120,000 square metres, representing a 20% increase over the previous edition. The outdoor exhibition area covers approximately 230,000 square metres, and for the first time, the show has opened an "Unmanned Systems Demonstration Zone", comprising two major sections: the "Unmanned Vessel Demonstration Zone" and the "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Demonstration Zone". A total of nearly 800 domestic and international exhibitors from 47 countries and regions are participating in this edition. Russia, France, the United States, and Saudi Arabia are each participating with national pavilions, while renowned global aviation companies such as Boeing, Airbus, Honeywell, Embraer, Safran, and Thales are all making appearances.

    This edition of the Airshow features multiple themed exhibition zones, including the Low-Altitude Economy Hall, Civil Aviation Industry Zone, Commercial Aircraft Industry Zone, Commercial Aerospace Zone, New Materials and Applications Zone, and Technology Commercialisation Zone. Exhibits span the full spectrum of "land, sea, air, space, electronics, and networks". A number of high-precision, cutting-edge exhibits representing world-leading standards are showcased collectively, with domestic exhibitors' product structures, grades, and quality all achieving further optimisation.

【Core Exhibitor Line-up】

    The Chinese Air Force, Army, and Navy are all dispatching their most advanced in-service equipment for display. The State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence, the China National Space Administration, along with central state-owned enterprises such as the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, are participating on a large scale with numerous new exhibits, technologies, and achievements, with some products making their "world debut", offering a comprehensive showcase of China's latest innovations in aerospace, aviation, and national defence.

    The Airshow's ground equipment dynamic demonstration zone has completed scene layout optimisation. China North Industries Group Corporation and China South Industries Group Corporation will deploy a range of new land equipment for systematic and intelligent dynamic demonstrations. During the show, aerial flight performances and ground dynamic demonstrations will complement each other, delivering an ultimate visual experience for on-site audiences.

    In addition, this edition of the Airshow leverages high-tech enablers such as AR/VR and AI, launching multiple services including multi-language translation, naked-eye 3D, and lighting navigation. The "Cloud Airshow" platform has also been upgraded to fully harness its online display and exchange functions, facilitating online trade matchmaking and supporting the creation of a "Digital Airshow".
