What to expect

FAMEX (Feria Aeroespacial México) is a biennial trade fair organised by Mexico's Secretariat of National Defense through the Mexican Air Force, held at Base Aérea Militar No. 1 in Santa Lucía, beside Felipe Ángeles International Airport north of Mexico City. Five days combining an aerospace-industry exhibition, defense and government delegations, B2B matchmaking, an academic and recruitment programme, and flying displays. Each edition features a guest nation of honour — Italy for 2027 — and draws OEMs, suppliers, and civil aviation businesses targeting Mexico's large and growing aerospace manufacturing base. FAMEX is the biggest aerospace event in Mexico and one of the largest in Latin America, sitting at the intersection of defense procurement, aerospace manufacturing, and civil aviation.
