International Paris Air Show 2027 – Expo France

What to expect in 2027

The International Paris Air Show 2027, officially known as the Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace, will return to Paris-Le Bourget from 14 to 20 June 2027. Organized every two years, the event brings together the international aerospace community across civil aviation, defence, space, aircraft manufacturing, propulsion, avionics, drones, new mobility and related technologies. The 2027 edition will continue the Show’s combination of professional business activity, static aircraft displays, conferences, innovation showcases and spectacular flying demonstrations.

The 2027 edition will have an additional historical dimension because it marks 100 years since Charles Lindbergh’s first solo transatlantic flight and his landing at Le Bourget in 1927. The anniversary provides a natural link between the historic role of Le Bourget and the technologies shaping the future of aerospace.

The Show is expected to attract major aerospace manufacturers, airlines, suppliers, engineering companies, defence organizations, space-sector businesses, startups, government delegations, investors, journalists, students and aviation enthusiasts. The latest completed edition in 2025 recorded around 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries, 305,000 visitors, 2,200 journalists and 155 aircraft, with 173 flying demonstrations. These figures are useful indicators of the scale of the event but should not be treated as confirmed 2027 attendance figures.

For professionals, the Show is designed around meetings, conferences, business networking and strategic discussions. For the general public, the weekend provides a more spectacular experience focused on aircraft, aviation heritage, innovation, educational activities and flying displays.

Venue & exhibition site

Venue: Parc des Expositions de Paris-Le Bourget

Location: Paris-Le Bourget, Seine-Saint-Denis, France

The Paris Air Show occupies the extensive exhibition and airfield facilities at Le Bourget, creating an unusual event environment where indoor exhibition halls, business areas, outdoor displays, aircraft parking areas and the flying-display zone operate together.

The site allows manufacturers and suppliers to combine traditional exhibition stands with outdoor aircraft presentations and static displays. Exhibitors can also use business chalets positioned alongside the runway, providing meeting areas with views toward the flying activity.

The location is historically significant to aviation. Le Bourget was the destination for Charles Lindbergh’s arrival after his 1927 Atlantic crossing, and the 2027 edition will commemorate the centenary of that event.

The exhibition site also works closely with the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace, which contributes an important aviation-history dimension to the wider visitor experience.

Full event programme

The complete 2027 programme has not yet been published. The official programme page currently states that the programme is coming soon, so visitors should expect the detailed conference timetable, demonstrations, speakers and special events to be announced progressively.

The established structure of the Show gives an indication of the programme visitors can expect:

• Professional conferences: Industry discussions covering aviation, space, defence, technology, sustainability and future mobility.
• Round tables: Expert discussions involving industrial leaders, decision-makers and sector specialists.
• Business meetings: Opportunities for exhibitors, buyers, suppliers and international delegations to arrange professional meetings.
• Innovation showcases: New aircraft concepts, propulsion systems, digital technologies, drones, space technologies and advanced manufacturing.
• Static aircraft displays: Civil, military, business and experimental aircraft presented on the airfield.
• Flying demonstrations: Daily aviation demonstrations traditionally form one of the Show’s most visible attractions.
• Career and education activities: Opportunities to discover aerospace careers, training and engineering pathways.
• Public activities: Family-oriented activities, educational experiences and aviation-related entertainment during public access days.

The professional programme is particularly important for visitors seeking business development opportunities because the Show combines exhibition activity with conferences and dedicated meeting programmes.

Aircraft & aviation highlights

Aircraft are at the heart of the International Paris Air Show. Visitors can see aircraft displayed on the ground while selected aircraft take part in flying demonstrations during the event.

Previous editions have featured commercial aircraft, business jets, military aircraft, transport aircraft, helicopters, historic aircraft, experimental aircraft, drones and emerging electric or hybrid aviation concepts. The 2025 aircraft programme included examples such as the Airbus A350-1000, Airbus A400M, Dassault Falcon 8X, Falcon 6X, Rafale B, Daher TBM 960, Daher Kodiak 100 and EcoPulse.

For 2027, the exact aircraft list and flight programme have not yet been announced. The final list normally depends on manufacturer participation, aircraft availability, military approvals, flight-safety requirements and demonstration planning.

The centenary of Lindbergh’s 1927 landing is also expected to provide a strong historical theme for the 2027 edition, linking aviation heritage with the technologies displayed by contemporary aerospace companies.

Airlines, manufacturers & exhibitors

The Show attracts companies from across the aerospace supply chain rather than focusing only on airlines. The professional visitor experience includes aircraft manufacturers, engine producers, equipment suppliers, technology companies, defence contractors, engineering firms, space organizations, startups and service providers.

The latest official figures list more than 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries, including 83 companies represented in the FlightGlobal Top 100. These figures are based on the Show’s established exhibitor profile and 2025 edition, rather than a finalized 2027 exhibitor count.

Previous participation and programme activities have involved companies and organizations including:

• Airbus
• Airbus Atlantic
• Air France
• ArianeGroup
• Dassault Aviation
• Daher
• Safran
• Thales
• MBDA
• Liebherr
• ONERA
• CNES
• Parrot
• Latecoere
• Mecachrome
• MTU Aero Engines
• Airbus Defence and Space-related activities
• French Air and Space Force
• DGA

These names illustrate the breadth of the ecosystem rather than confirming every company for 2027. The official exhibitor catalogue for the 2027 edition should be consulted once published.

Air shows & flight demonstrations

Flying demonstrations are one of the defining attractions of the Paris Air Show. They give manufacturers and aviation organizations an opportunity to demonstrate aircraft performance while giving visitors a close view of aircraft in operation.

The 2025 edition presented 155 aircraft and recorded 173 flying demonstrations, according to the official Show statistics.

Past flying displays have included commercial aircraft, military aircraft, business jets, helicopters, historic aircraft, transport aircraft and emerging aviation technologies. The Patrouille de France has also been a prominent part of the Show’s aviation spectacle.

The exact 2027 flying programme has not yet been released. Visitors should not assume that aircraft appearing in previous editions will automatically return in 2027.

The flying demonstrations are particularly important for photographers and aviation enthusiasts. However, viewing areas can become busy during major demonstrations, so visitors interested in the best possible viewing experience should plan their position and movement around the published daily schedule once it becomes available.

Exhibition halls & displays

The exhibition area combines indoor halls, outdoor spaces, business chalets and static aircraft displays.

Indoor exhibition halls: These provide traditional exhibition environments for aerospace manufacturers, suppliers, technology companies, institutions and industry organizations.

Outdoor exhibition areas: Large outdoor spaces allow companies to present aircraft, equipment and large-scale technologies that cannot be displayed inside conventional exhibition halls.

Static aircraft display: Aircraft are positioned around the site so visitors can inspect them from the ground and understand their design, configuration and technology.

Business chalets: Runway-side chalets provide a premium business environment for meetings and hospitality while maintaining views toward the flying displays.

The site has also included dedicated thematic spaces such as the Paris Air Lab and Paris Space Hub. In 2025, the Paris Space Hub provided a dedicated environment for space-sector exhibitors, institutions and discussions around areas including climate, connectivity, digital technology, defence, security, transport and exploration.

Ticket types & registration

The 2027 ticket structure and final prices have not yet been announced on the official website. The Show normally distinguishes between professional attendance and general-public access.

For reference, public admission during the 2025 edition was reported at approximately $20 for a standard entrance ticket and approximately $34 for an entrance ticket including access to the tribune for the flying demonstrations, based on the published previous-edition prices converted from euros to US dollars. These are reference prices only and should not be treated as confirmed 2027 rates.

Possible 2027 access categories may include:

• General public admission: Designed for visitors attending the public portion of the Show.
• Professional visitor registration: Intended for people working in aerospace, aviation, defence, space and related industries.
• Student or educational access: The Show has historically included dedicated education and career initiatives.
• Special access categories: Certain professional, institutional or invited participants may receive specific credentials.
• Flying-display access: Depending on the final ticket structure, specific viewing or seating options may be offered.

Visitors should use the official SIAE ticketing platform once 2027 registration opens rather than relying on third-party ticket sellers.

VIP & professional access

Professional access is a major part of the Paris Air Show. Trade visitors can use the Show to meet manufacturers, suppliers, investors, government representatives, engineers and other industry specialists.

The official professional visitor programme highlights conferences, round tables and dedicated meeting programmes designed to support networking and business opportunities.

Professional participation can be particularly useful for:

• Aerospace manufacturers
• Airlines and aviation operators
• Defence organizations
• Space companies
• Engineering firms
• Component suppliers
• Technology companies

Premium business facilities can include runway-side business chalets and dedicated hospitality environments. The exact VIP packages, hospitality access and 2027 professional registration conditions should be confirmed through the official organizer.

Boat, yacht & marine exhibitions

The International Paris Air Show is not a dedicated boat, yacht or marine exhibition. Its core focus is aviation, aerospace, defence and space rather than maritime leisure or marine manufacturing.

Visitors interested specifically in yachts, boats, marine engines or recreational boating should therefore not expect a dedicated marine exhibition comparable to a specialist boat show.

Some aerospace technologies can have broader applications across transportation and advanced engineering, but any marine-related company or product presence at the 2027 Show should only be considered confirmed when included in the official exhibitor catalogue.

Product launches & technology

Product launches and technology announcements are an important part of the professional environment at the Paris Air Show. Manufacturers and suppliers use the event to introduce new products, demonstrate technology and announce commercial or industrial developments.

Technology themes associated with recent editions include:

• Commercial aviation: New aircraft concepts, cabin technologies and efficiency improvements.
• Propulsion: More efficient engines, hybrid systems and alternative propulsion.
• Sustainable aviation: Technologies intended to reduce emissions and improve aircraft efficiency.
• Electric and hybrid aviation: Emerging propulsion and mobility concepts.
• Drones: Uncrewed aircraft systems and autonomous technologies.
• Urban air mobility: New aircraft concepts designed for emerging mobility applications.
• Space: Launch systems, satellites, communications and exploration technologies.

The Paris Air Lab has previously addressed topics such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, quantum technologies, sustainable energy, hydrogen and electrification.

Event rules & safety information

The Show operates under extensive safety, security and access procedures because it combines large visitor numbers with aircraft, vehicles, industrial equipment and live flying activity.

Visitors should follow all instructions from event staff, security personnel and aviation-safety authorities. Entry controls, ticket or badge checks and restrictions on certain items may apply.

Exhibitors and contractors are subject to additional health, safety and site regulations. Previous SIAE safety documentation has emphasized controlled access, vehicle-flow management, security screening and coordination between private security teams and public authorities.

For exhibitors, specific rules also cover construction, dismantling, equipment, workplace safety, foreign workers and regulated products. The organizer’s previous conditions also included specific controls for dual-use items and prohibited materials.

Because the 2027 event will involve live aircraft operations, visitors should remain inside designated spectator areas and follow all instructions concerning flying demonstrations.

How to get there

Paris-Le Bourget is located in the northern Paris metropolitan area and is accessible from central Paris and the surrounding region by public transportation and road.

The nearest major rail connection is Le Bourget station on RER B. The wider access network also connects the venue with Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport and surrounding transport hubs. The official 2025 access plan showed connections involving RER B, Tram T11, Tram T8, Metro lines and local bus services.

International visitors arriving by air can use Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and then continue toward Le Bourget using public transport or other ground transportation.

Because traffic can become particularly heavy during the Show, visitors should allow additional time when travelling by car.

Public transport & parking

Public transportation is generally one of the most practical ways to reach the Show, particularly during the busiest public days.

RER B: Le Bourget station provides an important rail connection from central Paris and the northern suburbs.

Tram and local connections: The surrounding network includes Tram T11, Tram T8 and connecting bus services.

Bus: Local bus routes serving the Le Bourget area can be combined with rail and tram connections.

Airport connections: Charles de Gaulle Airport is connected to the Paris transport network, making it possible for international visitors to continue toward Le Bourget.

Parking: Visitor parking arrangements are normally organized around the event site and may change from one edition to another. Parking availability, access gates and any reservation requirements should be checked in the official 2027 practical-information section before travelling.

The organizer also encourages visitors to consider lower-carbon transportation options as part of the Show’s wider environmental commitments.

Accommodation areas

Visitors staying for several days can choose accommodation in central Paris or closer to the northern suburbs.

Le Bourget: Useful for visitors who want to remain close to the exhibition site and reduce daily travel.

Saint-Denis: Offers a range of hotels and transport connections toward the wider Paris region.

La Villette and northeastern Paris: These areas provide a balance between access to Le Bourget and proximity to central Paris attractions.

Gare du Nord: Convenient for visitors using RER B and arriving by international or intercity rail services.

Central Paris: Areas around major transport hubs can be practical for international visitors who want to combine the Show with sightseeing.

Charles de Gaulle Airport area: Suitable for visitors with early or late flights, particularly when the Show is combined with a short business trip.

Booking early is advisable because the Paris Air Show attracts large numbers of international visitors and professional delegates.

Accessibility

Accessibility is an established part of the Paris Air Show’s visitor planning. The organizer has previously implemented accessibility measures including dedicated disabled parking, mobility-equipment rental, golf-cart assistance, priority queues, hearing-induction loops and accessibility improvements around the exhibition site.

The 2023 accessibility programme also recorded 101 dedicated disabled parking spaces and free golf-cart assistance for visitors with disabilities and their companions.

For 2027, visitors with specific accessibility requirements should check the official practical-information section before arrival because services, pickup points and equipment arrangements can change between editions.

The scale of the site also means that comfortable footwear, advance route planning and sufficient time between halls and outdoor aircraft areas can make the visit easier for visitors with mobility limitations.

Previous year’s highlights

The previous edition in 2025 demonstrated the international scale of the Paris Air Show. Official figures report 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries, 305,000 visitors, 2,200 journalists and 155 aircraft, accompanied by 173 flying demonstrations.

The 2025 edition also brought together 141,000 professional visitors and 164,000 members of the general public, according to the venue’s event report.

Major highlights included the Paris Space Hub, Paris Air Lab, Start-Me-Up, Avion des Métiers, Aéro Recrute and initiatives focused on women in aerospace and space. The Show also featured a week-long flying programme and a major public celebration of aerospace and space.

The 2025 aircraft programme included major civil and military platforms. Airbus presented aircraft including the A350-1000 and A400M, while Dassault Aviation presented aircraft including the Falcon 8X, Falcon 6X and Rafale B. Daher presented the TBM 960, Kodiak 100 and EcoPulse.

The edition also provided a strong focus on future technologies, including new mobility, drones, decarbonization, digital technologies and space-sector innovation.
