Istanbul Airshow 2026

About Istanbul Airshow

Istanbul Airshow is a civil aviation airshow and exhibition scheduled for 12-14 September 2026 at Istanbul Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Türkiye. Its scope brings civil aviation, aerospace exhibition, aircraft manufacturers and airline suppliers into one programme, giving the event a clear primary identity rather than treating every adjacent aerospace or space subject as equivalent. Istanbul Airshow is built around aircraft and technology displays, industry meetings and professional delegations, which clarifies what the event actually offers. For civil aviation suppliers, aircraft manufacturers and airline teams, AIREX offers specialist subjects in the context of the organisations, systems and decisions that use them.

Istanbul Airshow also creates useful links between civil aviation and aerospace exhibition, two areas that often need to be considered together in real projects. At Istanbul Airshow, the venue and programme should be read together because its civil aviation airshow and exhibition format determines how the day is organised. That Istanbul Airshow combination gives prospective attendees a practical basis for deciding whether the event matches their work before committing time or travel.

Event history and organiser

Istanbul Airshow is presented as a continuing event family, with Istanbul Airshow 2026 forming its 2026 edition. Expo Mint is named in the current event information as the organisation responsible for, or directly connected with, Istanbul Airshow. For Istanbul Airshow, the year is the clearest edition marker and separates the current programme from archived material for earlier events. Across AIREX editions, the stable identity comes from civil aviation, aerospace exhibition and aircraft manufacturers, while dates, venue arrangements and access details remain edition-specific. Istanbul Airshow should therefore be understood through both its continuing sector role and the practical information published for 2026. Expo Mint's relationship with Istanbul Airshow identifies who sets the programme context and where attendees should look for authoritative updates. The AIREX edition at Istanbul Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Türkiye continues that identity while giving the programme a specific geographic and institutional setting.

Topics and themes

Istanbul Airshow groups its subject matter around civil aviation, aerospace exhibition and aircraft manufacturers. For civil aviation at AIREX, the themes below explain practical relationships with the format and intended audience rather than repeating isolated terms.

• Civil aviation: At AIREX, covers the research, systems and operational requirements that influence aircraft capability and the future of aviation.
• Aerospace exhibition: At AIREX, places aerospace exhibition within the programme so that civil aviation suppliers can connect specialist work with wider.
• Aircraft manufacturers: At AIREX, examines how organisations source capability, form partnerships and move technical products or services towards operational use.
• Airline suppliers: At AIREX, examines how organisations source capability, form partnerships and move technical products or services towards operational use.
• Regional aviation market: At AIREX, covers the research, systems and operational requirements that influence aircraft capability and the future of aviation.

Who should attend?

Istanbul Airshow is principally relevant to civil aviation suppliers, aircraft manufacturers and airline teams. At AIREX, these groups can use the aircraft and technology displays and industry meetings to place civil aviation alongside aerospace exhibition and identify programme areas closest to their responsibilities. Aerospace business developers can assess Istanbul Airshow from a different angle, using its themes to understand where their work intersects with the main professional community. Regional buyers may also find a good fit where the programme addresses aircraft manufacturers. Istanbul Airshow is less useful to people seeking unrelated general-interest content because its value comes from the defined focus on civil aviation. Prospective civil aviation suppliers considering AIREX should compare their role with the programme before deciding whether its depth and format meet their needs.
