Aero Friedrichshafen Pre-Show Business Jet Flow Far Exceeds Normal Baseline — 2026 Show Layered Over EBACE Cancellation Expected to Drive Further Flow Growth
●Aero●EBACE
Analysis
AviGo data shows EDNY during 2025 Aero show exhibited a distinctive flow pattern: pre-show peak (Apr 9–18) daily average 34.9 movements — 4.7x the normal baseline (7.4/day); the show core 4 days (Apr 22–25) only 20 movements/day, actually below baseline. This is because exhibitor aircraft must arrive ahead of show setup. April 2025 full-month 553 movements, +14.3% YoY vs. 2024. 2026 Aero announced record exhibitor scale (reported ~820; historical scale typically 600–700, specific figure pending verification), layered over EBACE 2026 confirmed cancellation (EBAA cancelled due to insufficient exhibitor interest) — some display resources may shift; pre-show peak flow expected to grow further, full month potentially exceeding 2025 levels. FBOs must pre-stock staff and fuel at well-above-normal load. Confidence ★★ (AviGo historical data + show-scale growth trend; specific forecast figures are estimates).
