As the week draws to a close, the 2025 edition of the Avalon Australian International
Airshow 2025 has also come to an end. This year’s event garnered over 200,000 visitors
across six days, of which about 60,000 are trade visitors, about 10,000 more than the 2023
Avalon Airshow, and approximately 20,000 more than the 2019 edition.
The trade days included 902 exhibiting companies from 28 different countries. Also present
at the airshow were 291 industry, defence and academic delegations from 43 countries. This included 20 Chiefs of Air Force, 18 international representatives as well as 7 distinguished visitors from the USA.
Avalon Airshow 2025 featured more than 350 aircraft on the ground and in the air, with 45
aircraft being used for aerial displays, and 64 aircraft being exhibited by aircraft
manufacturers.
The airshow also hosted what would probably be the largest aviation industry careers and
skill day ever held in Australia in a single day, with over 7000 students from secondary and
tertiary schools participating in a program which included hearing from different industry
professionals.
CEO of AMDA, Justin Giddings, said: “Avalon 2025 was all about engagement between
industry, defence, the aviation and aerospace community and the general public.” He also acknowledged the unfortunate crash that happened on Friday. “Aviation is a tight
knit community, and an incident like this affects us all. Our thoughts are with Paul Bennet
Airshows pilot Glenn Collins, his family and his team during this difficult time.”
Giddings also added that “the Paul Bennet Airshows team are all highly skilled professionals who have participated in our airshows for many years, always with a focus on delivering an exciting but safe performance”, and that the airshow would “look forward to welcoming the team at future events.
