Messe Friedrichshafen, the organization behind AERO 2021—generally known as the largest general aviation event in Europe—had high hopes that the coronavirus pandemic that squashed plans for 2020 would abate enough to allow it to take place in July 2021. Those hopes were officially dashed on April 21, with an announcement from the group that COVID-19 concerns continued to make a large-scale indoor event next to impossible to carry through without undue hazard to attendees.
Organization Cancels AERO Friedrichshafen 2021 for July
Key Takeaways:
- Messe Friedrichshafen has officially canceled AERO 2021, Europe's largest general aviation event, for the second consecutive year.
- The decision was made due to persistent COVID-19 concerns, ongoing travel restrictions, and recent surges in cases, which made holding a large-scale indoor event impossible without undue hazard.
- Organizers expressed regret but emphasized the need to create planning certainty for stakeholders and are now focusing on the European Rotors trade show in November 2021 and AERO 2022, scheduled for April 27-30, 2022.
