Who attends

Why flight schools attend
Airshow China is dominated by commercial aerospace, defense, and AAM/eVTOL — flight schools generally find more directly relevant content at APATS in Singapore, Aero India, or Asia-focused training conferences. Schools building Chinese student pipelines or with operations adjacent to Chinese carriers occasionally attend for the operator relationships and regional industry signal.
Frequently Asked Questions

Airshow China is China-centric with a strong domestic commercial and defense aerospace focus.
