London – 18 September 2025: London Biggin Hill Airport hosted a record-breaking Air Charter Expo (ACE 25) on Tuesday 9th September, with more than 2,000 delegates registered, 100+ exhibitors and 20+ aircraft.
The event, delivered by The Air Charter Association (The ACA) and Business Air News, provided excellent networking opportunities for the global air charter community, with attendees and exhibitors visiting from across Europe, the United States, UAE and further afield.
Robert Walters, Commercial Director, London Biggin Hill Airport, says: “ACE’25 has once again exceeded expectations, with record numbers of exhibitors, aircraft and delegates attending from around the world. It’s inspiring to see the industry come together at London Biggin Hill, reinforcing our airport’s role at the heart of the business aviation community.”
A diverse static display at the event included Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 8X, an Embraer Praetor 600 (Luxaviation UK), Embraer ERJ-135LR (Air Charters Europe), Bombardier Challenger 604 (Air Independence) and Grand Caravan EX (Textron Aviation), giving delegates a rare chance to tour both fixed-wing and rotary models.
Alongside the exhibition, the conference programme explored the state of the industry in 2025, regulatory and taxation challenges, and the need to dispel the perception that business aviation is purely about luxury, with London Biggin Hill Airport CEO David Winstanley among the speakers.
Glenn Hogben, CEO, The Air Charter Association, says: “Air Charter Expo is a flagship event in the aviation calendar, that consistently delivers in showcasing the best of the air charter industry. The show continues to develop year upon year, and we are delighted to set another record for the number of attendees and exhibitors at ACE’25.”
Walters added: “We’re especially grateful to The Air Charter Association for its continued partnership in delivering such an engaging event. The momentum from this year’s show will carry forward as we continue to drive innovation and collaboration across the sector.”
