Key Takeaways:

AERO 2024 is simplifying the system for reserving aircraft arrival and departure slots at Friedrichshafen Airport (EDNY) and has increased their availability.
Pilots must preregister via an online booking system starting February 15, with slot reservations opening in mid-March; however, demand is still expected to exceed the increased supply.
Attendees flying their own aircraft receive a free one-day pass, but must follow specific procedures for licensing and passenger registration, with several alternative airfields offering transport links to the show.

The 30th AERO Friedrichshafen is scheduled for April 17 to 20, and show organizer Fairnamic GmbH said it has worked together with Friedrichshafen Airport (EDNY), Air Traffic Control, and security personnel to make more slots available.
