Paris Air Show 2027 (56th International Paris Air Show — SIAE)
The 56th International Paris Air Show returns to Le Bourget on 14–20 June 2027 — the world's oldest and largest aerospace gathering where 2,400+ exhibitors and 150+ aircraft draw every major GCC airline and government delegation for fleet orders, defence procurement, MRO partnerships, and supplier signalling across civil and military aviation.
What is the Paris Air Show?
The International Paris Air Show (Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace — SIAE) is the world's oldest and largest aerospace trade event, alternating biennially with Farnborough. It spans commercial aviation, business aviation, defence, space, airport equipment, and MRO across exhibition halls and a major static aircraft display at Le Bourget.
Trade visitors attend 14–17 June; public days run 18–20 June. Major aircraft orders and government MOUs are routinely announced during the trade week — especially from Gulf carriers and defence ministries.
2027 Le Bourget edition
The 56th edition runs 14–20 June 2027 at Paris-Le Bourget. Benchmark scale: 2,400+ exhibitors and 150+ aircraft on the static line and flying display.
GCC fleet orders from Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Saudia, and regional defence buyers are a hallmark of Paris — procurement teams should separate headline order news from airport-equipment and MRO hall traffic.
- Static aircraft display — commercial, business, and military
- Airline fleet order and MOU announcements
- Defence aerospace and space zones
- Airport technology and MRO supplier halls
- International government delegations
Who attends
Visitor mix spans airline CEOs and procurement, government and defence ministries, OEM tier-1 suppliers, airport authorities, MRO providers, and lessors. All major GCC airlines and UAE, Saudi, Qatari, and Bahraini government aerospace entities attend in force.
For airport-system buyers, dedicated halls exist but the show is broader than Airport Show or inter airport — map your category zones explicitly before walking the site.
Relationship to Dubai Airshow and Bahrain Airshow
Gulf airshows (Dubai biennial, Bahrain biennial) alternate with Paris and Farnborough on the global calendar. Paris remains the European capstone where OEMs launch products destined for Gulf fleets — use Le Bourget for first-look demos, then deep-dive procurement at Dubai Airshow or MRO Middle East.
Key themes
Audience mix
Planning GCC procurement for Paris Air Show 2027
Paris is a signalling and relationship event — major MOUs are announced publicly, but equipment RFQs often follow weeks later. Pre-register and book chalet meetings in Q1 2027 before diaries fill. Gulf carrier order announcements here set downstream MRO, cabin, training, and spares demand for years.
Airport-system buyers should not assume every hall is relevant — map airport technology and MRO zones explicitly and supplement with Airport Show (October) or inter airport Europe for deeper terminal vendor access.
- Register early on siae.fr — trade days 14–17 are procurement-focused
- Separate airline fleet news from airport capex — different halls and chalets
- Defence and space zones attract UAE/GCC government buyers with distinct compliance rules
- Use Aviation Souk to pre-qualify suppliers before on-site meetings
Venue & logistics
- Venue: Parc des Expositions de Paris-Le Bourget, near LFPB airport

Travel tips
- June weather is warm — plan outdoor static display visits in morning hours
