From major commercial deals to cutting-edge defence, digital security, and space ventures, Paris Air Show 2025 displayed the unfolding of Aviation's next chapter and shifting focus of global aerospace
FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, THE INTERNATIONAL PARIS Air Show at Le Bourget has stood as a beacon for the global aerospace industry, a place where innovation takes flight, and the future of aviation is shaped. The 55th edition of the show, held from June 16 to 22, 2025, showcased the latest advancements in civil aviation, defence, and space, providing a unique platform for the unveiling of new aircraft, satellites, propulsion systems, armaments, and flight assistance technologies. It is a place where some of the industry's biggest deals are struck, strategic alliances are forged, and the technological roadmap for the coming years is set.
Officially inaugurated by French Prime Minister François Bayrou on June 16, the 2025 Paris Air Show (PAS) was recognised as a major national event. The presence of President Emmanuel Macron on June 20, along with 15 French ministers and secretaries of state, underscored the event's importance not only to France but to the global aerospace community.
This year's show attracted a record over 3,05,000 visitors. The exhibition hosted 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries, including 1,124 French companies and 136 startups. The scale of the event was further emphasised by 332 chalets. Over 150 aircraft were displayed, with 173 flight demonstrations. The show's reach extended to 400 official delegations (civilian and military) from France and abroad. Among the 400 delegations were 80 civil delegations invited by the French Ministry of Transport, representing 64 countries and five international organisations. For the first time, a delegation from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) attended, led by its President and Secretary General. The civil sector was further represented by 12 civil aviation ministers and 62 directors general of civil aviation.
