Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Aviation Club have announced the launch of AERO Middle East x Sand & Fun 2026, a landmark aviation platform.
The event is set to become the largest and most influential general aviation airshow in the Middle East, said organisers.
The event is being delivered in partnership with the Saudi Aviation Club (SAC), the Kingdom’s official general aviation club and independent non-profit organisation founded by Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, which works in affiliation with and under the umbrella of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), the regulator of Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation sector. This partnership provides strong institutional foundations and positions the event at the centre of Saudi Arabia’s established and growing general aviation ecosystem.
Marking the regional debut of the globally recognised AERO brand, AERO Middle East x Sand & Fun 2026 will take place at Thumamah Airport, Riyadh, from November 24-28, 2026, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s role within the international general aviation, business aviation and advanced air mobility landscape.
The launch represents a significant strategic expansion for Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia amid sustained global growth across general aviation and next-generation air mobility. The event introduces a new integrated aviation format that combines international business, investment and innovation with live flying displays, immersive public engagement and aviation lifestyle experiences, delivered as one unified event.
