Johannesburg, South Africa, 27 July 2026 – Following the outstanding success of AERO South Africa 2026, Messe Frankfurt South Africa is delighted to announce that AERO South Africa will return to Lanseria International Airport from 9–11 June 2027. The event will mark the 7th edition of AERO South Africa and the third consecutive time the exhibition will be hosted at the iconic aviation hub.
Building on the momentum of this year's event, AERO South Africa continues to strengthen its position as Africa's leading business-to-business exhibition for the general aviation industry.
Over three unforgettable days in 2026, the aviation community came together to experience impressive aircraft displays, live flying demonstrations, cutting-edge aviation technology, insightful industry discussions, valuable networking opportunities, and inspiring youth development initiatives. The energy, innovation, and connections made throughout the event reinforced why AERO South Africa remains the industry's premier gathering for manufacturers, service providers, pilots, aviation professionals, enthusiasts, and the next generation of aviators.
"AERO South Africa has fully grown to be the General Aviation platform for Southern Africa. The 2026 even has reached exceptional exhibitor satisfaction beyond 90% and we are excited to return to Lanseria in 2027", says Michael Dehn, Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt South Africa.
Returning to Lanseria International Airport for a third consecutive edition highlights the venue's outstanding facilities, strategic location, and continued partnership with the organisers. Its unique airport environment provides the ideal setting for exhibitors to showcase aircraft, products, and services while giving visitors an immersive aviation experience unlike any other on the continent.
Preparations are already underway to make the 2027 edition even bigger and better, with an expanded showcase of products, technologies, educational opportunities, and industry engagement.
Mark your calendars and save the date. We can't wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable edition of AERO South Africa.
See you in 2027!
