Airshow China 2026 takes place from 7 to 13 December 2026 at the Zhuhai International Airshow Center in Zhuhai, China. The 16th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China), also known as the Zhuhai Airshow, is held every two years and is the country’s only international aerospace exhibition approved by the State Council.
The 2026 edition is organised as “one show, three zones”: the main venue at the Zhuhai International Airshow Center, a maritime equipment zone at Gaolan Port, opened for the first time, and the Lianzhou unmanned equipment exhibition zone. According to the organisers, the Lianzhou zone serves as a demonstration platform for drones and anti-drone systems, with dynamic counter-drone demonstrations and flight displays by new drone models. China State Shipbuilding Corporation plans to show a 500-tonne-class unmanned vessel.
At the press briefing in October 2026, organisers announced more than 3,000 pieces of equipment, more than 170 aircraft registered for the main exhibition area and more than 1,100 registered companies from nearly 50 countries and regions.
