The event is happening after the city parted ways with Messe Frankfurt South Africa, the former service provider, following the 2024 airshow edition.

The two parties had entered into a three-year memorandum of understanding, which expired last year in July, and it was never renewed.

In April, city spokesperson Lindela Mashigo explained that the Aero SA Exhibition cannot be replicated since its rights are privately owned by Messe Frankfurt.

However, he said, the city has partnered with private entities to host a new airshow and a military conference at Wonderboom Airport.

Tlangi Mogale, Member of the Mayoral Committee Roads and Transport, expressed optimism that this year's airshow edition will attract thousands of visitors, aviation enthusiasts, and industry players from across the country. The previous airshows have been massive, drawing crowds of up to 60 000 people.
