Who attends
GA aircraft manufacturers, French flight schools and ATOs, French aero clubs, avionics retailers, French DGAC representatives, GA pilots from France and neighbouring Switzerland/Italy/Germany, prospective student pilots, and a strong family-attendance contingent during the public-access weekend days.
Why flight schools attend
Aviatize has exhibited at France Air Expo and the event is a primary annual recruiting and visibility venue for French and Rhône-Alpes-region flight schools. The audience is overwhelmingly current and prospective pilots from a regional French catchment — a more focused recruiting opportunity than the broader Mondial de l'ULM at Blois. Schools running both Part-FCL training and aero club activity find Lyon's audience well-aligned with French aviation culture.
Frequently Asked Questions
France Air Expo is held at Aéroport de Lyon-Bron (LFLY) — Lyon's dedicated general aviation airport, located on the eastern edge of the Lyon metropolitan area. Lyon-Bron is reachable by car, by Lyon's public transit, and by GA fly-in for visitors arriving by aircraft.
France Air Expo runs annually in mid-June at Lyon-Bron. Dates and admission information are published via franceairexpo.com typically four to six months before the event.
Yes for schools serving the Rhône-Alpes region or building French-language student pipelines. Lyon's geographic position also draws Swiss, Italian, and southern-German visitors, so Swiss and Italian flight schools sometimes attend. Pure non-French schools without French-language student pipelines find broader European events more relevant.
