Taking place in September 2026 at AFB Waterkloof in Centurion, Gauteng, South Africa, the Africa Aerospace & Defence Expo (AAD) remains Africa’s largest aerospace and defence exhibition. First established in 1975, the biennial event attracts thousands of visitors, exhibitors, manufacturers, aviation professionals, and government representatives from around the globe.

The exhibition combines a large-scale trade show with an internationally recognised air show, providing a platform for showcasing the latest developments in aerospace technology, defence systems, aviation innovation, and operational capabilities. The event also facilitates important discussions around industry development, technological advancement, and strategic partnerships within the aerospace sector.

For Flight Serve Ltd, AAD represents an important event for operators, aviation service providers, manufacturers, and industry stakeholders active across Southern Africa. The exhibition offers valuable opportunities for networking, industry engagement, and understanding developments that influence aviation operations throughout the region.
